Hey, a PB..finally got a score that i am happy with...
For those of you who commented on the alignment, I know i could not straighten it due to the rules, this was straight from the camera.
Anyway, i am happy.

hey brett ... great shot and congratulations on your pb ... absolutely gorgeous deep sky and great composition ... love the highlights on the opera house .. love the pattern the fence creates ... it looks processed with those fantastic contrasts .. so well done ..
I really like this shot, the dark tree, the lights in the background. It all works. The only thing is it seems a bit slanted to the left. Other than that, its a beautiful shot. Nice work.
I realize you can't fix a horizon in minimal, but it is so skewed it's unfortunately distracting. Otherwise, very cool idea with the single palm tree in front of the opera house.
Nice one here and I love it.....
Great spot to shoot from, and I love this composition very much.
The title suits this image very well.
You have done really well with this one.
Quite crooked. I presume this was on a tripod? I believe you can get a spirit level for your hotshoe for relatively little money and it will help keep things straight. Even without it you have a pretty clear horizon line here to act as visual guide to level things out.
That aside I like the fresh look on a much photographed subject.
Superb view of the Sydney Opera House at dusk! Quite unique in effect & feel. Sadly, IMHO the palm tree silhouette (while qualifying this photo for the tree competition) actually distracts from an exquisite location photo. Improvements? If you had stepped left or right about 5-10 feet to physically crop out the palm tree and level the fencing at the water's edge (by sight) it would be a 10 in another contest, like the February, 2007 Free Study, but don't try it now...Boarder-Line DQ! :(
Too bad this is rotated to the left the way it is. A vertical crop (eliminating some dead space on the left and right), and leveled out a bit, and this could have been a ribbon contender!
