Images that contain a sizable area of deep shadows that then go to an even larger area in brilliant sunlight are among the most challenging in photography. This handles all of that perfectly. I can smell the aromas! A beautiful and engaging capture.

@Michael Rawluk: Thank you Michael for your comments, yes thousands and thousands for this festival, the streets smelt devine. I have another image coming up in a couple of days in this, more chocolate tones which seem to be more apt for the great smells of this festival. Thanks for visiting!

I like the complexity of this image: the crowd, the arch, the light, buildings and sign. A great capture of a busy scene!

Was at 'The Rocks' this year for Australia Day, the first time in Sydney for the day... took my hubby (American) there for his first taste of Australia Day... we went for the Ghost Tour of The Rocks... it was brilliant... I can see how everyone is rugged up... I miss the 4 seasons (being an Aussie living in Florida)... love the shot... besides, makes me feel a little homesick...

I keep going back to this shot. My favourite taken by you this day. It captures so much of the mood, the true spirit of Sydney. You've really got it together with the B&W shots. I look forward to seeing more and more...
