Long & Diagonal, a photo from New South Wales, East

Photographer's Note

I managed to combine a long perspective with a diagonal composition two photographic rules in one photo.

Sydney Harbor Bridge, steel-arch bridge across Sydney Harbor (Port Jackson), Australia. The bridge, opened in 1932, serves as the primary transportation link between Sydney and its suburbs on the northern side of the harbor. It spans about 500 meters (1,650 feet), making it one of the longest steel-arch bridge in the world. Along its length, it features four railroad tracks, a highway , and two pedestrian walkways.

Sydney Opera House, located on Sydney Harbor. Its unique use of a series of gleaming white sail-shaped shells as its roof structure makes it one of the most-photographed buildings in the world.
In 1956 the state government sponsored an international competition for a design. Architects from some 30 countries submitted 233 entries. In January 1957 the judging committee announced the winning entry, that of Danish architect Jorn Utzon, who won with a dramatic design showing a complex of two main halls side by side facing out to the harbor on a large podium.

Hello Zbigniew, an excellent view with the two iconic structures of Sydney.
The diagonals of the railings and the bridge frame the city so well.
Excellent sharpness.
Kind regards, Jean.

Hello Zbigniew,
This is an excellent composition. You placed the Opera House perfectly under the bridge, and cut nicely across the frame with the bridge's span. I like the fence, too. It looked very quiet when you took this photo. :-) Take care!

Hello Zbigniew,
Yes, bridge.....as you've already said 'smaller scale' :-)
And I can't compared with the view too.
I like the long railing almost 'zig-zag' with the bridge - one directing us to the boat and another leading us to the city 'sky-line'. In between , of course....the wonderful Opera House , the iconic building of Sydney.
On top of the bridge , the flag of Aussie 'flying high' with pride.
Thanks for sharing this 'well judged' composition shot.
