Climbing the Harbour Bridge, high above the Sydney harbour. It's a daunting task if you suffer from vertigo.
Can you spot the couple in love?
Learn more about the Sydney Harbour Bridge:
The Sydney Harbour Bridge is a steel arch bridge across Sydney Harbour that carries rail, vehicular, and pedestrian traffic between the Sydney central business district (CBD) and the North Shore. The dramatic view of the bridge, the harbour, and the nearby Sydney Opera House is an iconic image of both Sydney and Australia. The bridge is locally nicknamed The Coathanger because of its arch-based design, although this usage is less prevalent than it once was.
The bridge was the city's tallest structure until 1967. According to Guinness World Records, it is the world's widest long-span bridge and its tallest steel arch bridge, measuring 134 metres (429.6 ft) from top to water level. It is also the fourth-longest spanning-arch bridge in the world.

I believe that the tone of blue you impressed
on the photo is its soul. I like the tone
going from the dark of the clouds to the pale
bottom, with all the people standing as
silhouettes against it.

Great photo with great tones of blue. I like
the strong contrast on the silhouette
compared to the smooth gradient in the
clouds. Also the people against the sky are
beautiful. I agree that the composition isn't
perfect, though. The cabin would really need
to be off the center. The idea of putting the
bridge on the diagonal is good, although i
wouldn't loose that great sky.

I'm not one to know too much about
architectural design, that's my brother's
field! But I do find this quite interesting
and appealing to look at. I agree with one of
the previous comments with the crop version
noted. I think that will give it far more
impact. I quite like the strong blue with the
deeper blue in the clouds against the
silhouette.

As I mentioned on this Critique thread , I went through no less than 14 revisions of
this, mainly with the crop, being a
cropoholic myself (yes, I know that there's
no such thing as cropohol) and definitely not
favouring set ratios over composition. In any
other crop the composition suffered. Even a
square crop was suggestion and tried out to
no avail.

Fantastic composition which could be improved
through the crop suggested. The sky colour is
brilliant and the silhouettes perfect. Really
gives a sense of scale.
