Some random shots taken at lunchtime

These are some scenes from the Parliamentary triangle in Canberra. There are many tourist attractions here: the National Library, Lake Burley Griffin, the Portrait Gallery, the Hight Court, the National Gallery of Australia, Old Parliament House and the 'new' Parliament House.

I take it you are trying to achieve color accuracy more than a compositional theme? If so, you have captured the color very well.

I found that 1 and 4 were a bit blue when I looked at them closely. By that stage I'd been working on them in CS5 not ACR so I added a warming filter.

Camellia,

I made the comment only because of the tight cropping you used, especially in the third image where the title of the event is cut off.

[Camellia]

I understand what you're saying John and I was conscious of that. Unfortunately the full title wasn't visible. I've cropped the photo to remove the white band of the plastic tent. I thought the headless costumes and the light were interesting. Maybe it needs more context?

Camellia,

It's a nice image, I would just crop the title. You would still be able to capture all of the gown and only the trousers would be partially shown.

[Camellia]

I've cloned out the partially shown words. What do you think now John?

Much better.

Hi Raylee, I really like #2. The colours and clarity are excellent, as is the light on the sign. I might be tempted to clone out the shadow to the left of Espreso, but that's just nitpicky.
