Someone take away the new Sony A500 and give him his old camera Back, it's getting too good !

Love the set.. the side to side approach is very well done, excellent sky details in all of them... and that's not easy while trying to nail the statues... great job Bud

The last shot could be in a Travel Guide, terrific comp .

Good Stuff,

Vin

These are wonderful! I love the way you used so many different angles. I think my favorite might be the third one, with the beautiful architectural detail, so very crisp. And I really like the subtle colors of the building and sky throughout the set. Thanks for sharing these!

I like history, old statues, and great architecture and these pictures are top quality Ian.
But thats the problem with your country,
its beautiful and spacious but its so young, theres hardly any history to photograph or talk about, but, I suppose 1879 isn't too bad

Great work buddy
and hope you and the family are keeping well and warm
