Fabulous, your Sydney views are always awsome …

must agree with tom brilliant

Fabulous Philip, you’ve excelled yourself on this one!

Outstanding wide angle shot, Philip! The clouds and light are fabulous. I also really like the moored yachts in the foreground with the CBD in behind – recreation and work all in the one image.

Beautiful rich colours – I love shots taken at the two extremes of the day. I notice you have a liking for the panoramic format (as do I). I’m wondering if you have any thoughts on how to get around the way RB displays (ie crops) panoramics on our home pages.

Great shot:)

Beautiful and awesome and full of the potential of nature’s fury. Almost looks surreal. Love it!

Breathtakingly beautiful!
