About the Image(s)
I like wandering around Sydney when I get the chance (and permission from she who must be obeyed). Sometimes around the older streets and sometimes around the newer ones. This image was taken inside one of our oldest shopping arcades The Strand Arcade. It might make it into a photo book I'm working on, but then again it might not.
Details are: Nikon D810 24mm lens; ISO 400; F5; 1/100 and hand held, because if they see a camera on a tripod, they ask you to move on, so you have to be quick.

You handled the lighting situation very well in this image. My eye is much more focused on the processed image because I'm not districted by the bright lighting in the original. Taking the image from the mid upper floor gives the viewer a look at all the design elements/graphics that are in the Strand Arcade in addition to the beautiful skylight. Well done, Ian.
