A few from my wander to the Aroma festival. Unlike the others I was with on the day there are no portraits here :lol: :wink:

A slightly different take on the SOH

The remainder here are taken inside Customs House at Circular QUay

The next two are of the same spot and I can't for the life of me pick which is the better

Peter!!
1, 3 & 4 are excellent.
The 2nd one doesn't really grab me.
That said..the other sure compensate for it IMO!
With the 3rd one, I'd like to see the two people (left and right outside as you view it) cloned/cropped out. I don't think they add to the image. Nicely done none-the less! :)

Love them Peter. Clarity and colour are superb.

However, I do hope that someone helped up that poor clumsy girl in the 4th shot...

Peter,

last one and the square crop on the third are great. For the OH, good idea but for me, not just quite there, maybe climb on a chair/ladder next time to get a different perspective on the OH :wink: :wink:

As usual Peter, to complement your photog skills, your PP skills make these photos shine, well done.

I think the 3rd works better than the 4th, and specially after the square crop it is fantastic!

The reflection in the 4th is too distracting for me.

The 1st is a good concept and I like it, but seems a little drab in comparison to your usual work, seems to have missed out on the Stubbsy Zing!

The 2nd is missing, well I think people! I like the image, I like the angle, I just feel that you need some people in there walking across the first floor, or up and out the front doors to finish it off.

Cheers
Brett

great shots Peter
did you try any of the floor using a polarizer to get rid of the reflection to make the people look like they are floating and
a) did it work
b) can we see a sample

Great series peter. I agree that #4 is a ripper I also agree with Firsty's comment re the polarizer.
cheers
