Here are the last of my Darling Harbour shots from the weekend just gone. These shots are of the various water sculptures. Click here for all my Darling Harbour pics. Click any image below to see a larger version.
For a colour version of this image click here 
This one is a bit of a cheat. I only liked half the original image, so I sliced it down the middle and reflected it around the vertical axis. Click here to see the original (minimal PP). 
Liked the effect in this one 
and a final one with a bit more colour

I prefer the first one in colour. It looks a little like a sewage treatment plan in B&W.
Added a new image I missed

Peter - the first pic does it for me but to make it even more surreal I would crop down and remove the paving totally

Great series of shots Peter. You always manage to find an interesting angle, composition or presentation style that makes a good shot great.
Last shot is my favourite though I agree with Chris that cropping the first one would greatly improve it - it would be hard to tell exactly what it was! Last edited by Manta on Mon May 01, 2006 9:34 pm, edited 1 time in total.

Peter, #1 and #2 are fine images. You've tastefully PP'd them and they're indicative of your recognisable style.
The thing about going on a photo shoot in Darling Harbour is the challenge of finding a unique angle, and that can be bloody hard considering how many photos are snapped off each day in the area.
Cool shots! It's great to see something you think you've seen already in different way. For my money I like #1 in colour and #2.

Peter,
The first two of these do it for me. I think that what you've done with the second is especially effective, and it worked very well. g.

The second and third are the ones for me. I love what you have done with the second - very creative. All those water droplets in the third have me mesmerised.

Just what do you think you're doing Dave?
Peter - love image #1 the most

Love the first 3 stubbsy.
The b&w treatment in the first one really helps draw the attention. Love the mixture of the silky smooth water with the hard edges of the concrete squares. The second pic reminds me of some water pics you'd see in stock image libraries. Great stuff. Love the way the motion of the water has been frozen in the 3rd pic. Hassy, Leica, Nikon, iPhone
Come follow the rabbit hole...
Thank you all for your comments. Darling harbour is a place that fascinates me photographically and I have yet to plumb it's depths. Craig - that shot is me taking the 2nd image here.
Re: Cropping the pavement in #1 - I tried it before I posted, but lost too much of the image in the process Peter
