IMHO cropping the right 20% of the image out seems to add something intangible (just the way it opened on my screen first time must confess before resized, but thought would suggest).

Thanks Rob
I see what you mean and now I'm in two minds as I really like the fence, nevertheless happy to share a cropped version too
... I use to be indecisice but now I'm not sure lol

Whatever way you frame it Carlos, it's still a fantastic subject well captured!

Thanks Jonathan
I took a few other angles, one includes the brigde and the opera house from inside that fortified sandstone hut (still not sure what they we used for, canons?) I'll share them later on.

Thanks Rowland
possibly because it was raining and that leaves a haze. IIS user 'Wavytone' suggested with another b/w I took a few weeks ago (
http://www.iceinspace.com.au/forum/s...d.php?t=101773 ) to lower the ISO which I have now and he's was spot on!
Camera settings were:
32mm
6.0 sec exp
f/4.5
ISO 100

Thanks Laurie
I tend to agree with you too, its a good thing I can save the original and crop and uncrop as much as I like.
