love it but can't put my finger on why.

This is a photograph I took in september as the family and I were walking along the beach on the gold coast. Not the typical image seen or captured by many. As I was walking one of my kids asked where the toilets were, and I looked up and over to my left to spot the sun right behind a unique building where the war memorial is and I thought I have to photograph that (left the kids bathroom needs to my husband to get the shot obviously). Finally had a chance to look over it this week and for some reason I still love it, I have given it a sepia tone and a textured feel to it which I like, everyones likes might be different, but I just wanted to share...... hope you like it as much as I do. Definitely not my usual type of photograph!

G'day Bigsarg! Very interesting image, and I can understand why you had to stop (flick the kids off to hubby) and capture the scene! (Many times, especially in New Zealand, I have come across scintillating landscapes, but alas, usually there's nowhere to stop the car safely and photograph the scene.)

Nice work.

Excellent image. Wide range of tones, interesting shapes and strong negative spaces and atmospheric colour all go to make it a success. I like.

Thanks guys, trying to decide what size to get it printed and on what format. I like acrylic more then canvas, however, I think this image would work better on canvas. Ahhh to much to decide.
