M G Pettett
Very well photographed! The picture wouldn’t be the same if the sky were completely black, and the contrast in the warm tones of the church and its traditional construction and those of the modern fountain is well seen! I lived in Australia for 3.5 years and remember visiting this cathedral in Sydney decades ago! Thanks for adding my picture Derelict to your list of favourites.
Jeff Catford replied
Mike, thank you for your very thoughtful comments. I appreciate very much you taking the time to share them.
Your image ‘Derelict’ is most welcome in my favourites list. I have a particular interest in photographing old ruins, but I struggle to do them justice. “Derelect’ does not suffer in that department at all.
salsbells69
That is beautiful! Love the two worlds of architecture in the one shot. Marvellous tones and exsposure timing. Well done.
