Opera house

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

Shells
Image
1/250. F-5.6 . ISO- 100 . 17-40 @ 17 mm

Was down at the house last week with my daughter watching the tennis in the forecourt where they have a screen setup.

Small PS clone job in the little triangular gap between the shells .Cloned out the waterways tower, which looked like a tap .Other than that just the standard treatment of levels and USM

C and C welcome

i never get tired of looking at the opera house it's wonderful

and i'm glad you took the best part the sails, i really dont like the support bit

very nice tones in the clouds but i think the sail on the left is a bit close to the edge
and kind of makes the framing look too tight for the evident composition

Thanks Wendellt
Not sure what you mean by the support bit though ??
Any further left of frame and there is a ton of ugly buildings which (IMO ) add nothing to the composition. I deliberately framed it this way in camera to cut out the clutter .

I think a crop to exclude the left half of the distant portion would make it for me.

I love it, it looks great, but did you consider doing some HDR pp to brighten up the opera house itself.
Nikon D80, MB-D80, Nikon 50mm f/1.8, Nikon 17-55mm f/2.8, SB-800, Sigma 18-200 f/3.5-6.3
Various bits of borrowed/stolen glass/speedlights etc. - zero style or taste.
