Nice shot. The high rise building in front of the bridge looks like it's radioactively glowing though.
Dam, I hadn't notice this until now,
Now Smeggy has brought my attention to that building I can't help but notice it
Reprocessed to remove the glowing building
So that would be the Theatre Wharf among the other wharves on the RHS Paul? 'Sort of' know where it is. Comes up well in mono.
I dont know the name of the wharf i-Berg but heres a slightly wider shot that shows the city on the R/H side

Ha Ha - first thing I noticed too. Either over-sharpened or over saturated. I'd try desaturating and desharpening a little to make it less of an eye-magnet.
I really like the shot.
Edit. Oops - I really should read all the comments first shouldn't I Looks better now.
I also like the new shot but think it would be a lot better without the foreground. Just scroll the page down to see what it would be like without it. The sky and harbour are dramatic and enough IMHO.

Frenchs Forest,
Sydney
I liked the apparent tranquility of the bay compared to the usual shots of a busy harbor
Shot with the K200D and the 18-55WR lens with a cokin P121 ND grad
C&C's welcome
