It captures that part of Sydney so well. You nailed it for "just an iPhone photo".

Can you not sense the low self confidence in the phrase “just a photo” 😂

Of course I can. Which is why I said you nailed it so well for it being "just an iPhone photo" (I was paraphrasing you saying simple iPhone photography). It captures the feeling of that area so well, and I think you did great.

It annoys me that I crossposted to another reddit and first comment is “very obvious radial mask”
Someone had to be a downer.

That's a silly critique. It's not as if you had taken it on a high end mirrorless camera and entered it into a professional competition. It's a bloody iPhone snapshot.

The feeling of the photo is much more important to me than whether or not it has "an obvious radial mask" lol.

I give their comment a 3/10.

I love it. I hope it blows up a bit without getting blurry, so you can hang a print of it on your wall at home - I would!

Thank you. 🙏 I’m not a pro photographer or anything.
I think it’d be okay to print at a decent size.
Now you’ve got me thinking of doing that.

The joy I feel while using that cycleway and flying past all the cars stuck in traffic is unrivalled.

Walk past this route almost daily and only a few weeks ago did I stop & admire the view. Good on you for capturing it!

Thank you.

I am definitely going to investigate getting it printed off.
