Very nice image Andy. I think I agree with Rod about the framing on this one; it is there but maybe not strongly (for me anyway). All I ask is for it to have some natural framing- and it does :-) Great work Andy.

The sky here is just wonderful, along with the architecture:-)

Thanks aam123 and Rod - the framing was pretty loose on this one but thought the sculptures were enough of a frame to draw the eye to the old building.

Rod, these are concrete "sculptures". the big one would be some 30 feet tall (I will pay more attention next time I'm in there) The are part of many sculptures on a plaza outside the Festival Centre and old railway precinct. I was also trying to incorporate some of the new with the not so new in the image.

I can't see the clouds as having any framing but the two sculptures certainly do, well done Andy. I think moving in to have less or no space outside the sculptures may have made a better composition. These sculpture seem to look out of place for the City of Churches, what are they Andy?

And the clouds makes the upper frame/ceiling. Nice composition and lovely colors.
