Attended the Sydney Google Plus 2 Year Anniversary PhotoWalk – it was a very wet and wild morning in Sydney and I arrived quite late. I missed the 6AM start and only managed to arrive around 8:30AM to meet the remaining walkers at the Jeffrey St wharf.

By the time I got my camera and the rain cover out to shoot, the rain was heading in to full swing and I managed just 4 shots this morning. Still this first composition was pretty much what I’d envisaged taking when I was driving there and I was pretty happy with the result – plus the rain proved useful for something



and here is a version that my daughter really likes - with some funky colour rendition

That's one of the best shots I've seen of the bridge for a very long time. You've put that together beautifully, and with skill and care and consideration for the composition. Masterful!

Thanks Matt - kind words - the bollards didn't exactly line up like I was hoping for but were pretty close

any preference between the monochrome and colour versions?

Both versions of the same photos are very nice.

I like both versions but I would like to see a version where the top half, from just below the city buildings, is desaturated by about 70%\, leaving just a hint of colour. I think that might work.

I echo Matt's comments. Nothing much to add other than to say how much pleasure I get from images like this that renew a sense of interest in the over photographed.

Really well thought out. Excellent composition of an old fav.
