Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

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.
