Sydney Opera House & Bridge

[stevoarnold]

Hey everyone.

I just got back from a trip across the bay to north sydney where I took a few photos of the harbour bridge and opera house. Now, I know that the golden hour is supposed to be ideal as far as light is concerned and I am usually able to harness it to good effect. However this attempt has left me a little perplexed as my shots mostly came out hazy and flat and my post processing efforts in lightroom haven't really served me well this time. I cant seem to nail this one. It looks to me like a photo that you find in a box in the loft from years ago and the colours have turned a bit funny.

Here's one of the problem shots. I am mostly concerned with what you think about the colour, contrast and exposure etc - is it oversaturated, is the contrast too much? ... but I would also welcome any other comments you may have.

Thanks in advance!
