Hi David,
I like the pleasant visual distortion produced by your wide angle lens. This is a very beautiful vista of Perth from the river. I did not see the rainbow from looking at the thumbnail, and I'm glad I double clicked as it is a highlight and definitely enhances the picture. Best regards, Danilo

Hi David,

Neat shot! I like the double rainbow in the scene. Such a beauty of nature to view. Also interesting effect of the buildings. I think it would also be a nice crop of the rainbows and the buildings up to the first tall skyscraper, showing more emphasis on the rainbows.

Hi David, the capital city of the state of my birth. From the angle I would say you were on a ferry at the time. Good colour and a nice effect on the water.

Nice grab, I have recently got the same lens and I agree that sometimes it's worth leaving the horizontals and verticals to the discression of it. It works well here. Regards, TW

Unreal mate....I can imagine sitting there in Kings park with a nice stubby of Swan in the hand and enjoy this spectacle.
The half light/shadow on the skyline works perfect.
Good on you david!

Wauw! Very original photo.
I realy like it.
That the horizon not completely horizontal is makes it different, and thats cool.

I was here just a view days ago. Perth is a very nice city!

Regards,
Annelies
