Dave of the 3 pics I prefer #1 for its simplicity and a great shot

I agree with Chris here, with one point - would it have been possible to have slightly more room on the right? I feel it is a little cut off as is. Other than that, out of these three, it has the most appeal, and the potential to be a really nice image.

The second one doesn't flow for me - the steps up on the left draw my eyes in that direction, but I am then stopped in the middle of the picture by the other side of the stand. There is nothing that then draws me further through the right side.

The last one doesn't work for me - the tree detracts too much. If it didn't cover part of the roof, and acted more as a frame for the image, then I think it would work better. That said, the perspective on the stand is the most pleasing of the three!

#1 is great

i like the first,i think the third may have been better without the limb.

Hi Dave, I'm doing some shots of the rotunda in Hobart's St David's Park tonight. I'd be interested in the exposure details of your shots.
Cheers

Thanks for the comments everyone, I will keep it in mind next time I revisit Balmoral.

Hi John,

I've checked through all the shots of the rotunda and most were taken in bulb mode f8 - 10 at about 38 - 45 sec. NR was turned on.

Hope that helps!

Thanks Dave. Sorry it was rude of me not to comment on the images and just ask you a question. I really like 1 and 3. The stairs leading into the image work well. I'd prefer 3 without the branch. A reshoot with a chainsaw should sort that out.
Cheers
John

It wasn't interpreted as rude so no need to worry

As much as I would like to make use of a chainsaw I think perhaps Mosman council might have something to say about it, so next time I will just move the camera
