Posted: Sat Mar 18, 2006 7:22 pmI like the panoramic view of the first image but can't say I care a great deal for the second
Posted: Sat Mar 18, 2006 7:50 pmI like your first image too Dee. The Australian way of framing the second would be wait till a tourist stood on the right of the telescope, then just frame the comment 'knob to right' and the tourist 
Nice to see you can still get something for a quarter

Glen, you're a wag!
Dee, I like the 2nd one too - well seen and technically very good.

You need to wander down into it to get a much better perspective I reckon.

It can be bloody hot down the bottom, even when its quite cool up top. I've been there quite a few times and never get sick of it

Posted: Sun Mar 19, 2006 9:11 amI quite like the second photo Dee. It's good to see something that's been shot to death from a different perspective.

I'm generally a big fan of your work, but this time, not so. #1 here is fine, but #2 just doesn't grab me. I think it's a little TOO humdrum for me and the huge scope on the RHS just unbalances the composition.
