Please Vote For My Photo

You may remember last year my posting about being unable to get my photograph of Sydney Opera House onto iStockphoto. The problem was that the Opera House has an over-broad interpretation of trademark law that they are trying to use to control the market in photographs, and iStock is respecting rather than challenging it. I still can't post my photo to iStock, but there is a chance to get a bit of airtime for the issue if I can get some votes for the photo! And I need your help.

I just entered the photograph into a Sydney Opera House photo competition (thanks for the anonymous tip), and I'd love to get your (hopefully 5*) vote for it if you feel so moved. I actually have a second photo entered if you're in the mood. My entry looks like it is the very first in the competition and the prize is notoriety, just what the issue needs.

Got my vote! I've never sen the Sydney Opera House with a fierce red sky above it. It's probably not 'approved'...

Wow; awesome shot - where did you take that from? The sky is quite distinctive.

It was from my room in the Four Seasons in Sydney, just before dawn. I think the colour palette is especially Australian.

Great shot Simon...didn't look nearly as nice in your JavaOne pitch (could have been the projector).
