Arched walkway - taken at Melbourne's GPO (March 2005)
Hand held - auto settings.

Arches are one of my favorite architectural shots Donna, and you did an beautiful job here ! This is gorgeous ! The play with light and shadows, the repetition of arches, the details in the ceiling, your composition... Bravo ! #265522Patty Razonable June 19, 2005
Excellent image capture, Donna!! #1487574Janet Williams June 19, 2005

Excellent graphic work as well as that long leading blue aisle to the end of the walkway, Donna!! Love it!!Paul E. Earl June 19, 2005
This looks like such a classical setting even though it is in Melbourne. I love the vanishing point on the lines. Great work, Donna. #1487592Renee Doyle June 19, 2005
Great job Donna - I never ever manage to get near the GPO when they don't have tables and chairs set up - it really is a beautiful archway - great shot.S J June 19, 2005

Donna,I commented on this last night but it must have been lost in the shuffle. Cathy must have beaten me to the draw. I REALLY love this photograph. The framing is just right and I especially like the detail! I wanna walk right through there! #1488714

Excellent framing, Donna. I love this shot!!! Wonderful view #1490646Donna Roberts June 19, 2005
This is another case of me not having any idea on what is appealing - this one almost didnt make it into my gallery.....but hey, what do I know??Sara Jensen June 20, 2005
Stunning. I was looking through your gallery trying to pick a favourite to comment on. This one got it, but it was a hard sell. You have a fantastic eye for seeing shapes and patterns which many people don't have (I dont think I do for instance). This wasn't as abstract as many of yours which is why it probably didn't get to you as much as your others do. Still, this one is fantastic. The colours are very calming in spite of the sort of black hole type energy the picture has sucking you in. #1490853Kate Jackson June 20, 2005
I only wish I could comment so poetically as everyone else but I do agree with everything that has been said. Definitely one of my favourites Donna! And what is more I am quite relieved to be back on the ground! #1490996Brian J. Mauritzen June 20, 2005
Wow, Donna! This is a great shot. Wonderful composition and the colors are great. You have a good eye. #1492222Laura E. OConnor June 20, 2005
Beautiful color and repetition of pattern, light and shadow! GREAT shot, Donna! #1492240Stephen Zacker June 20, 2005

Hi Lynne - I had my husband with me and he gave everyone a threatening look if they dare get into the lens view.....LOL, no - actually it was very early AM on a Sunday, so I was very lucky, I only had to wait for one gentleman to make his way out of sight before I got a couple of shots taken.Bill Wyatt July 05, 2006

Hi Ariel - thank you for stopping by my gallery, much appreciated!ALLEN O. HOWARD January 16, 2007
I read somewhere in the comments that you didn't know what was appealing and that this almost did not get posted. You must look long and hard, ddu, as this is masterful!!! I never saw this and there are many others as well. But this is my sincere congratulations, late but not lost. EXCELLENT, Donna!, Allen #3827797Steven E. Ray July 20, 2007
An expert at architectural photography I see from your gallery :) Really like this one, the repetitive arches provides a great effect. Good capture and balance and most interesting gallery! #4529668Donna Roberts July 21, 2007
