You knew what the master wanted and you delivered. I like the wide angle.

This works best because the visual ambience of the pergola dominates and has much more impact. Spooky - like maybe a Jack the Ripper setting. -tv

Nice exposure! Like Techo I prefer this viewpoint also; makes you more part of the scene. In the other one I feel a lonely stranger at night; here I feel like an evening stroller enjoying the scenery.

Thanks Doug, both are same place but give a different feeling a?

This one is more technically sound but doesn't give me the warm fuzzy feeling that the other one did. Must be the bloke. -Doug

Thanks Carole :-) A runner you say? He he, I think the only running that guy on the bench does these days is to the liquor store or an alley to get his next fix. He was passed out. Just a slice of life you expect in a big city.

This shot of the pergola shows the details of the architecture a bit better and I do like the figure on the bench. Was that a runner tying his shoe - at least I hope it is! :-) CJ

Thanks guys :-) I was just glad to make it out of there with all my gear, that neighborhood is pretty sketchy late at night. I guess I'm a thrill seeker ;-)

Of the two pics, I prefer the viewpoint of this shot. It's unique and interesting. Feels like I'm standing right there.

The pergola itself looks really nice under this lighting & the lone figure is a good touch. I would have trouble separating the picys into which one I like best. I feel a bit inspired now to at least take me tripod to Capalaba & see wot I can come up with, as a trip to the city on a chilly night isn't too high on me to do list:-)
