I honetstly cannot believe that this image did not win the blue. I just saw the results of the competition and I think this was the winner by far. Beautiful.

Sheesh - drove from sydney did you ? A trip down to circular quay might have been easier and got you a score nearly this good - but I personally wouldn't have been half as impressed - great job!

Validated? I guess it does have the impression of selective editing in the brightness of the water, though. Strong image, a little let down compositionally for me: I can't help thinking it would be enormously stronger for a crop at the bottom of frame: i think you're relying on a near-double symmetry, but that only serves to weaken the overall impact of that parkland and the flag, and undermine the strength of the sweep of those twin bridges. Won;t be surprised to see it do well, however.

Yowsa!!! Excellent job! A remarkable catpure of an somewhat unremarkable scene.

Impressive. Great capture of lighting and shadows.

Great job - love the symmetry here and thats not even my aussie bias speaking. Exposure here is spot on. Title however, is awful :).

I probably won't be able to get through enough voting to make this one count, but I'd just like to say good luck .... Before I started, I wondered if there'd be any Canberra (my hometown) bridges, and I just found two. This is the better one.

I love the way this picture was taken..the two bridges look awesome coming together. But hte best part of the picture is the shadows that are formed by the two brigdes.

Canberra Parliament House is my guess. Nice shot.

Fabulous. I'm sure you noticed there's another from the exact same POV? Shades of le Louvre in "Old and New". This is beautifully composed and rendered, 10 from me.
