@danthro: Glad you like it. I pass by here a couple of times a week on average, and I'm always looking at the light and people interest. This is certainly the best I've come up with on this path.

What a great looking park! Your side of the world is really pretty Andrew - you've really given us a wonderful glimpse into life in Sydney

This must be a wonderful location for a stroll, the trees are so beautiful! Though rather early in the morning...people are there in quite a number. Their presence makes the place very dynamic.

The tree to the right took my breath away, I really enjoyed the entire composition, the people add to this magnificent shot :)

All that activity there has reminded me to have a go at ‘sequencing’ - repeating images of the same person(s) within the one landscape. Your sure caught some great lighting here, too.

Me sigue encantando entrar en tu blog y disfrutar de tus capturas tomadas a 200mm, consigues en cada una de ellas la esencia d lo que es "robar" una imagen, es decir para mi tienen un algo especial, cuando las veo tengo la sensación de que en el momento que tu encuadras, enfocas.. hasta que disparas fueras invisible para esa gente protagonista de tus obras. Un saludo!

The light in the trees is very interesting - it is hard to gauge what direction it is coming from - some figures are backlit, while there is clear front lighting on the tree trunks. The various effects of the light in the leaves near and far makes a stunning image. Nice!

@Ken McCoy: Thanks, Ken. When i first read yor comment, I actually couldn't think where the light was coming from. I walked past there again early this morning, and decided I'd better note it for you. The sun was over to the left and behind the scene, so that the light was slanting across.

NICE SHOT I LOVE THE GREEN IN THE PICTURE!
