Elegance
Of all the magnificent historic buildings I photographed at Sydney University today, this modest shot through the greenery jumped out at me as my ‘shot of the day’ – for me there’s something alluring about the partial view through the foilage – perhaps less is more!

Your composition and treatment make this building look like one of the grandest establishments in all of Sydney. I’d sure hate having to clean all those windows.
Maybe you could post this into the “Windows and Doors” Gallery and see what those experts have to say. Great job Rosalie!

Woooo Hoooo…... Top Notch image Rosalie….. Can image the before and the after is simply stunning.
JasonTowers
The preview images make it look like a meticulous painting. How have you achieved such an appealing effect? Or is that a trade secret? ;)
Rosalie Dale IPA replied
Hey Jason – this was a combination of some light-handed HDR (from a single image in photomatix), a very careful edging (can’t remember exactly but think I used threshold pulled back a fair way and blended) and because there already was some light on the greener leaves to the upper right, a very light coloured omni rendered just off centre to extend the light a tiny bit. Pleased you like it. The end result is trial and error and up to you and your eye!!! I have only just started to venture into HDR so my attempts are on the careful side! I appreciate your kind words – thank you so much!

Gorgeous colour and light, and what a fantastic piece of processing.

Murray you are kind – thank you for favouriting this!
Pat Abbott
A lovely capture, nice details!
Rosalie Dale IPA
Gosh – thank you all for your wonderful encouraging comments – very much appreciated. I suspect the little bit of HDR did help with this one – I’ve been avoiding using it but gave in on a couple of recent pics. Sigh … maybe us oldies do need to move with the times!

Rosalie Dale IPA replied
Bless you Dave – appreciate the encouragement.
JasonTowers
Thanks for revealing your processing, Rosalie. It must be the edge effect I picked up on — the lighting is beautiful, but for me the appearance of tiny brush strokes is what makes the image pleasing.
Rosalie Dale IPA replied
You have a great eye Jason – well spotted!
kenspics
WOW… what a stunning photo!!!
Shot of the MONTH!!.

Fantastic shot Rosalie! You’re right about how it just ‘pops’ out at you. Love the warm light on the old sandstone and the greenery provides some nice contrast.

I do appreciate your considered comment Will – thanks mate.
Hans Goepel
I have many things that I love, Trees is one of tem, places of learning is a odder. I never had any education. So Elegance has tow menings for me Elegance is education and beauty for me. And you Rosalie you have captured it beautifully. Love the lighting.
Rosalie Dale IPA replied
Thank you Hans, especially for the favouriting. So pleased this evokes similar feelings. Thankfully, while they are building a heap of new ‘boxes’ at the Uni, these old elegant structures are being preserved. They are wonderful.
