Probably not my most serious entry. Took this photo from the ferry on the way to work. Actually i was after a picture of the harbour bridge but with the 50mm (didn't have my 17-85 with me) i couldn't get the whole bridge in shot. Instead i got this image.
Shot in raw, Basically i stuff around to try and bring out as many tones as possible and then made it as blurry and cheesy as possible. Added the super tacky green and gold border.
I don't expect that this will do too well. I'm hoping that i will get some sort of bonus points for the fact that i have an 'icon' in my postcard. Hopefully people will enjoy the tacky nature of it because generally speaking, for me, the postcard genre is pretty much an array of super tacky images.

I think I have you beat in the tacky department. (No vote yet, just browsing)
Added: Ok voting now. I can't figure out why you might consider the Sydney Opera house to be tacky. Maybe it's a Cliche shot, but if I visited Sydney, I would certainly take my share of pics of this place. Not as over-photographed as Toronto, however. But then, I believe 40% of DPC members live in Toronto.
Yep, just what you would expect on a postcard of Sydney!
I was going to go out and do a shot of the Opera house as well, but it rained all bloody week so in the end I never bothered entering anything. I see from the sky you faced the same problem :)
It's not as tacky as the author believes - the image is reasonably sharp, the Opera House a symbol of Sydney, the sky is kind of blah, but it does add a dramatic component to the image. The font is acceptable, but I can't think of a reason why the elipses in the front of Sydney.
A little bland for colors and for Sydney but I guess we are all spoiled by those night time cityscapes. Not liking the frame color but I do like that you gave us a different perspective.
