Went for a walk up to Sydney's Central Station one lunchtime and took a few images whilst there...

The sun and bright sky weren't kind for this image but I liked the composition potential so I might go back in better conditions



I liked the potential of the dark reflections here - I only wish there was more water on the ground... (sorry Cam I believe I stole your idea here)



and lastly in the park outside the station

I love the first image, but I am not a fan of the Tram stop (HDR too overdone for my liking). Keep it up mate!

I agree, the first shot certainly shows a different perspective on central and is very will executed.

#1 certainly brings back some memories from my younger days when I worked just around the corner. Love it.
#2 I find the top half of the shot find but the bottom, including the most dominate car, a little dark.
#3 I think the highlights need to be pulled back a little.

Thanks Cam (NB both of the first two are HDR's) - with the second I did try to tame the HDRyness (the sky was most obvious) - most of the rest of the shiny look in the dark areas (e.g. in the ceiling) was not from the HDR process but I added this later with a big push of clarity in LR

Thanks Craig, I'll try some selective shadow recovery on #2
With #3 I did try (Highlights at -84) but theres no more to be recovered - this was a single frame and the open sky was just too bright when also shooting under the shade of the trees

Lovely stuff especially with the perspective and depth of the first image.

The first image is great. I think it would be worth going back there, set the camera up on a tripod, settle back in a chair (which you'd probably need to bring), use a remote and see what wanders into the frame. For example, maybe a bicycle going past.

I also prefer the first photo
