Icon From Behind, a photo from New South Wales, East

Photographer's Note

if you walk around the back of the sydney opera house, you get a very good look at the structure of this unique building. i was lucky the day i went there because of the beautiful weather and the time i had to have a good look around. there is a path that literally goes all the way around the building. not many people know about it and not many people go there. it was an interesting perspective.

Hi Craig,

The blue sky is a definite plus in this image. The building is indeed very interesting. Its design very elegant yet futuristic. Good point of view, colours and details. Thanks for sharing.

Hello Craig,
The peerless blue sky makes a fine backdrop for the strong graphical lines of the roof with its triple peaks. A very good capture which shows a different aspect of the Opera House to the ones we are used to seeing.

Hi Craig, The blue skies is the perfect backdrop for this architectural image. It looks so new even now showing how clever the man who designed this wonderful structure. TFS. Murray.

Bonjour Craig.
C'est peut-皻re le monument le plus photographi� de Syney mais ici tu as mis en valeur une partie de cette architecture singuli鋨ement belle.
Beau graphisme sur un beau ciel bleu !

great blue! it's nice that you've tried to do something different, but it hasn't quite worked. the opera house's unique sails can possibly be highlighted more. ;)

Hello Craig

Interesting approach to the well known landmark. Very good contrast against the pale blue sky. Nice work! TFS.

Have a great day.

Best regards, Erling

Hi Craig
this is my first time viewing your gallery, and i see a number of architecture shots, and i like what i see.
having never been to your country, and never seen this Iconic structure, this is great to see.
the lines and angles are great, with excellent textures.
hope to see more!
Cheers
Craig
