Wow, stunning detail and sharpness you've captured. Great colors, too, and the silk effect on the water is near perfect. What a great shot!

Hi Radim,
a perfect example of what one can accomplish with the proper usage of an L lens. The blue spotlight given by the reflection rapresents the "plus" of this capture. I also agree with the decision to include not the entite bridge: this gives originality to the shot. Congratulation, I envy your result, Dario

Radim,

Excellent! The cityscape is beautiful as is the opera house. I like the opposing directionality of the railing you are taking hte picture from and the bridge. Good foreground, mid, and background.
Excellent exposure and detail. TFS

Interesting POV. Good details on the architecture.
Good exposure at night.
Nice that you included the city of Sydney as well as the Sydney opera house. A good view for those who have not been there. :)

This is a superb photo. The composition is excellent and the definition is paramount. Everything is very sharp including the flag on top of the bridge. The light is very, very good also. Congratulations.

Outstanding shot! The angle of the bridge is great, giving this a very dynamic look. The lighting is wonderful too, with just the right combination of artificial and natural light. Excellent!

Hi radim
Great shot of a common subject. Slightly different perspective. Thanks!

Well I doubt I´ll see a better Sydney Harbour shot on here for quite a while. Well done.

Hi Radim.

I see that also that your night time photography is in the same outstanding quality as your daytime one. Excelent angle just underneath the bridge, excelent shrpness and a beautiful view of the opera house.
Bravo!

Hey Radim,

I'm a sucker for night images, I hope I can master 'the way' you do it dude!

Cheers!

Hi Radim - nothing less than perfection as usual, but what else is new? A famous monument but this is the way it was meant to be photographed. In any case I'll be extra picky and wish the lens was a bit wider to include more of the curve of the coathanger bridge, contrary to one of the comments above.

rhizomes (15321) 2006-11-02 12:57

Hi Radim,
Very nice picture ! I like the perspective on the bridge and all the little lights, veery sharp...
I don't like very much this big black frame you choose...

Hello Radim! Very nice work, although I feel like the frame distracts me from appreciating your great work here. The clarity is just amazing and the POV excellent. I really like the effect of the long exposure smoothing out the water. Well done.

Hi Radim,
great shot with lots of details and great colours. The silk effect on the water is nearly perfect. I know the POV because I have been in Sydney one year ago. If you like you can watch my gallerie. I have a lot of photos of Sydney as well.

Best regards

A beautiful picture of the iconic bridge Radim.
Everything is so sharp,I love the way that the lights show up so well.
It is good to see the relation between the bridge and the opera house,never having been to Sydney.
TFS,regards Jean.

Outstanding shot, Radim!

I like the way you composed the shot and added framing. From the technical point of view, sharpness, colors and contrast are just great. The overall impression about this photo is very positive even from a preview :)
