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.

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.

This is a comissioned series i did last year, it permeated from an art project i started in 2005 which got published in Cream magazine. The whole premise was to create something new and surreal out of imaging tiling of commonly photographed landmarks. I got comisisoned by an investor group developing that new shopping complex revamp under at Sydney Tower to create a photographic series that showed sydney in a new light as a fashionable sophisticated city to attract international investors to the development project it just got released so thought the relevance to post the first 2 are the ones i did years ago   this is what was used for the corporate campaign   my original series: http://www.zeduce.org/images/art/finite/finite.htm

Wendell, These have symmetry, light, composition, intrigue and so much more. Nice processing. What can I say.

I find myself just staring at the first and last one mesmerised, not that there is anything wrong with the other two.

An awesome series Wendell, Chris says it best, visionary. These Sydney icons are certainly well known and often photographed but the presentation you have shown us is inspiring.
thanks,
André

I was completely blown away by the first, so recognisable yet so foreign.
This is a great series.

Sounds like your client is a little prone to understatements Wendell  I think the appropriate feedback should have been 'Simply sublime' followed by 'You are not charging me enough!' cheers marco
