It's hard to sum up such a big event in 4 photos for Sydney Festivals 1st Night

a dinosaur puppet show by Erth in hyde park


Hi Flyers stunt exhibition, i shot this from the opposite side of the stage to get a cleaner shot


same thing but audience view


nd finally Al Green king of Soul plays to a record crowd at the Domain

Very nice work Wendell !!!

The second one with all the detail in the clouds and Centrepoint in the background is fantastic as well as the last one.

I particularly like the third of these. The simplicity of the three elements, coupled with the subjects' internal conflict between the cathedral and the acrobat just works.

#2 and #3 have the "three elements Wendell look". I believe the previous classic we saw at the cockatoo won the competition then. Love it!!

I also think that the #3 is a standout as Gary has commented.

All different but all so appealing, like all of your work. #3 is a great example of when a white sky works. I love the message of #2 which to me is to go look for a new angle and see something a little more out of the usual.

The last two are stunning Wendell, my only suggestion on the second last would be to remove that tiny tinge of blue to make it all white, other than that it is a stunning image.

The last image is very nice, classic magazine quality (of which I would expect nothing less from you nowadays!!)

Thee are different from your normal style Wendell. 3 & 4 caught my eye, especially #3. (You could be forgiven for thinking that all 3 elements of the photo had been cloned in! ) I've never seen anything remotely like it.

thanks guys i really appreciate it
sydney festival goes on for another 3 weeks so get out and see whats going on around and in the city it's well worth it

Absolutely love #2, it's visual poetry. Simple yet high impact.

Makes me even more disappointed I didn't get to go in, was at home nursing a sick GF instead.

I really like #2 and #4, I will buck the trend and say that #3 does not appeal to me, just the stark white...each to their own.

Great to see some other work from you Wendell
