Nice work Philip. B&W really works for this one. Looks like quite the vantage point you have there!!
Jeff Catford
This is a bizarre effect. It look almost as if it’s a pencil sketch. I really like it though. It has a very fresh clarity about it and it is so Sydney. Thanks for this one Philip. It’s tops!!
