Luna Reflections Photo

Photographer’s Note

On one of my first night shoots I was taken to Luna Park in Sydney. It was a fantastic place to take some photos and gaze across the harbour bridge at the rest of Sydney.
I scanned the print and adjusted as best as I could in PS.

The reflexion is so perfect that we would believe in graffiti drawn on the paving stone. At the first glance, these eyes are rather disconcerting...

Fantastic reflection - and very good eye! What is that face thats being reflected? Its really a terrific shot, and the yellow/orange light adds a lot.

A very nice composition. I love the idea as mentionned before by other trek members. The colors are great, the reflection is really sharp and above all, it has a very mysterious and original aura.

Sort of spooky reflection and the burnt orange color works well here too. Nice! Regards, Doug

Excellent shot, a unique image. The colours are good, even more so considering it's a night shot. A clever take on this particular location.

Great photo! Perfect sharpness for a night-time photograph.

Hi Damon
This is really well seen with just the reflection of the eyes in the water and the interesting cobblestones around it. I like the textures.
Regards
Nikki

Hi Damon,
The giant face of the Luna park is really eye catching and easy to remember. A clever shot with the reflection and yellow artificial light.

Excellent capture Damon. Now you're going to have me watching the ground for my photographs as well.

Thanks, John

Unique idea. Looks funny but again I really like it. Well done.

Wow! that is pretty cool, I love how the water is so calm and the eyes are just there popping out at you. If I was to offer a critque, I would say that it is alittle reddish. In PS you could maybe desaturate the reds using a Hue/Saturation Layer. Although to me this color also seems natural and could be very accurate as is. Thanks for posting this up.
