Default Opera House Conversion

B&W isn't my greatest skill there was rain on one side and sun on the other but the original doesn't really convey it, I've tried something a bit different for me, does it work or is it too pink/dark or just boring, any C&C welcome

I love the composition, I don't think it boring at all. The color (pink) adds personality to the picture. I've always wanted to visit the Opera House; looks like you caught a Ferry in the bottom left hand corner .

Cheers, I think I should have waited a couple of minutes to get the ferry looking a bit larger in foreground.

I might have liked it a little better with a higher contrast... at least in the areas of the Opera House to help it jump a little. Nice shot.
