Number three in my cityscape series! Looking skywards from beneath two Sydney skyscrapers, with one building reflecting in the other! Some adjustments made using PS CS - Rotate & Crop, Brightness & Contrast, Saturation & Lightness, Shadow-Highlight, Unsharp Mask, & Borders, & filtered using Neat Image... Taken just after midday - 1/320 sec @ f5.6, ISO 64, & 5.9mm digital focal length...

Jordi and Kerby, thank you VERY much for your very complimentary comments on this image!! I really like the way the branches and autumn leaves are framing this, too!! Of course, I also love that gorgeous blue sky overhead, with the light clouds scudding by!! Thanks again!! :o) #1509099Janet Williams June 23, 2005
Carolyn this really is amazing. We all take and see so many building reflections etc., but this is an entirely new perspective. Really inventive and such an impact. You must have spent some time getting the very best spot to shoot from! #1511934Ermanno Radice June 24, 2005
Excellent perspective, great image, well done, Carolyn! #1516314Jim Kinnunen June 26, 2005
I love this, Carolyn! Very well seen and captured!!! #1522800Marcie A. Fowler June 28, 2005
i simply love the perspective and colors on this one Carolyn!! Beautiful! #1531615Carolyn J. Connolly June 29, 2005
Thanks for your kind thoughts on this image, Janet, Ermanno, Jim, and Marcie!! :o)Janet - strange as it may seem, it only took me a very short time to capture this shot! Phil and I were just walking down the street towards Pyrmont Bridge, to cross over to Darling Harbour, when I saw the reflections you see in this shot... I lifted my camera up, and took a couple of shots of the reflections, and then, just tried lifting my camera RIGHT up, so that I was looking directly overhead, and could include the building behind me (that of course was creating the reflections!)... Thankfully, I managed to keep my balance alright!! Hope that all makes sense to you!! ;o)
Thanks once again to all of you for looking and commenting - I really appreciate it!! :o) #1537649
