Thank you for your comprehensive comments. I appreciate you taking to time to provide the in-depth responses that you have. I certainly find this feedback helpful.

To put this in context, last year I joined the Australian Photographic Society (predominantly at the time to access some discount magazine subscriptions). The day I joined I noticed on the website that the Sydney International Exhibition of Photography was closing that same day. On a whim I entered 4 images without any real thought or expectation. I had never previously had any inclination to enter a photographic competition. Surprisingly 1 image was accepted for the exhibition. I have now been invited to enter another contest, and one of the categories is architecture. I have never been one for photographing architecture and can find it a bit static. I was looking at this shot and trying to work out if is was worthy to enter -thus my request for the assessment of the above image.

Iggy, I don’t know why I considered the selective colour processing. I used to try these a few years ago, but quickly got over it and now I find the process a bit “cheesy”. For some reason I didn’t mind it on this occasion. I am glad you have set me straight, and I will try to lean a tad the left next time.


MB, you pretty much read my mind, although I think you have seen more in the image than I did (at least consciously anyway). Your response has made me think a bit more about it. Thanks

If I win any money in the comp I will buy you guys a beer when you visit Australia. (Actually I will do that anyway)
