Hi Les
looks like Australia was a tad warmer than here. Lovely POV and blue hour shot of these famous landmarks. Amazing sky that adds such a wonderful atmosphere to this shot. An accomplished execution and striking presentation.
Regards - Brian.

Dear Les
Glad to see you arrived home safe and sound. We'll miss you and Gladys and look forward to your return. Kevin thanks you profusely for the dedication. Its a hum-dinger of a photo, with wonderful colours, exposure and superb clouds. I loved the water, it looks like blue ice.
Warmest regards, have a lovely week

Hello Dear Leslie - Home safe and sound and kicking off with a super shot. I like your POV very much with the underside of the bridge visible and well detailed. The strong shape of the arch and roadway pulls us across the water to the cityscape beyond. Well positioned opera house too. Two iconic structure in a fine shot. Great to see you back! Warm regards Rosemary

Gidday Les,
Lovely to see you back safe and sound - I really hope that Gladys and yourself had a wonderful time with your daughter in Australia! And, of course, you met up with Lisa and Kevin too!
And what a lovely memento to bring back to Old Blighty - a beautiful photograph of Sydney Harbour Bridge.
I'm not sure but I rather suspect that this was taken in late evening - your exif data suggest it was taken after 10 a.m. and, as I suspect very few people alter their camera's "clock" when they go abroad, this could well have been just after 9 p.m. in Sydney.
Whatever time you took it, you have timed it well and also coped extremely well with the long exposure time too. Gorgeous vibrant colours and wonderful smoothness on the water. You have chosen the right time to have a very satisfying balance between natural and artificial light, the exposure is spot-on and the details and sharpness exquisite.
Fabulous!
Kind Regards,
John.
P.S. Looking forward to seeing more of your Australian shots!
