Amazing composition... From the thumbnail I couldn't figure out what it was for a long time

When I saw this image I recognised it as being very similar to your. Its a beatiful location. I guess the 15mm lens causes quite a bit of distortion as this guy has managed to keep the verticals straight using a medium format camera.

How do you find the Sigma lens?
Thank you for your comment!
The Sigma is a great lens, but I love it more on my 10D, as it's quite noticably soft on the full frame 5D. I'll be looking to replace it with a 17-40 L soon hopefully, as it's just a little too soft for my liking now.

"WOW", this is just amazing and such a well deserved winner of the "blue" ribbon.....What makes it even better is that you are from Australia. I am an Aussie like you, and that is one of the best images I have seen of Sydney Harbour Bridge, especially the angle that you have taken it. CONGRATULATIONS.....

By far one of the most dynamic images in the realm of DPC. While the lens lends it distortion, the overall perpective impact wins the day. The immediate impression is like a giant spaceship invading a city. An image that is totally impossible if the camera copied the eye 100% You deserve the highest kudos because you selected this breathtaking angle.
CONGRATULATIONS on you well deserved BLUE.

Great under bridge lighting. If it was my image, I might well have cropped out the city (or desaturated it perhaps). The city is a little distracting.

05/31/2006 04:07:53 AMPost actions
It reminds me of something. :) But this is not the only reason I like it. The colorful reflections, the structure fading from crystal clear to blurry lines, the perfect tone of sky, all put together well. Grats.

Wow talk about moving the viewer eye into the frame! The bridge function to transport out eye across the frame to the city - nice composition. Great exposure and colors and reflections! Bumping up. 9
