I have soo many positive comments about this photo. It has such a beautiful ‘gotham winter’ feel about it. Well done.

wow, u really got hot, man. I see so much talent on this site, it amazes me that there is so much ordinary work and visual pollution on bus shelters, train stations, billboards. *sigh.

Fantastic, as always =)

Dear Flamejob, this photo is simpley breathtaking, great work, my hats off to you, wait add my head also, really really great work. were is the location at?

Thanks Guys and thanks Ruben. This is Flinders street Melbourne.

Awesome! What a mood! Love the shiny road surface.

So dark and powerful! lovely work!

Quite surreal

Wow that’s awesome. What a fantastic view of melbourne. Gives it a gotham city feel.

I don’t often understand or like ‘city shots’ but this one is quite stunning.

Thanks for all the comments guys – this was not an image i thought much of when I created it (sat in my “what should I do with this ?” folder for some time) and I certainly did not expect that it would be so popular so this has been a suprise – thanks all.

Cheers

Aaron

This is truly amazing

I love the reflections on the wet road and the colour tones in the sky!

This is very impressive !! Looks like a painting for me.

wow!!! this is truly amazing.. well done

Gotham City…Phantom Menace…Blade Runner the scenes of all of them are flashing in my mind when I look at this superb artwork

Simply amazing. The sky is awesome!

i like it

fantastic! did you map a texture into the sky to achieve that effect of something? it looks great!

Exquisite

an almost 30’s atmosphere about it… nice one!

Brilliant!

....and fifty wow(s) from me for this one. Its simply outstanding. I cross this street everyday…never thought of something like this.

I’d never have considered a shot like this…. so glad you did! It’s magnificent. Very gotham-city. If the end of the world came to melbourne then this is what it would look like. An amazing picture.

Reminds me of Gotham City! What you have done to it works so well, the atmosphere is amazing

amazing deep tones!

so much character!

Looks like chicago in the depression of 1920, great atmospheric pressure….

Excellent feel, tone and light

Fantastic work.

This reminds me of the awesome movie Dark City Very nice capture.

Wow mate breathtaking, what an atmosphere you have created.

cool sky.

fantastic image ….loooove it…!!

i really dig this one! i will endeavour to get this colour action into some of mine :P

Quite the picture. Good angle. I like the words and symbols in the clouds.

nice layering on photoshop. the soft opacity of the texture put on top really brings meaning to this photo. well captured.

All of your pieces have a beautifully rich, dark moodiness. I don’t know how you attain such power in your cloud series. They are like huge waves breaking from the heavens. I have the impression of being swept up for some extraordinary adventure.

Amazing images on your site. So intense and bold!

Fantastic image…..depicts a melbourne peak hour winters night so well….and treatment superb!!!

GREAT!

wow! very tripped out

your work is amazing what can i say ! love it, love it !

Great composition, I love the tone

Wounderful treatment…great shot

Fantastic!!

Another sensational piece of work. An instant fav. Well done.

Love the treatment and the square crop. There’s so much character in this that it looks really old but also timeless. Great work.

Wonderfully atmospheric.

This beautiful piece of artwork evoked many feelings inside my soul… the line of traffic, the sky, the water, the track in the middle, the buildings, lighting.. it’s a perfect moment captured. Bravo.

nice motif – like me

I love this piece. I believe this symbolizes when Melbourne had the gas plant blow up so no one had hot water and no one was bathing. ;)

beautiful image
