Challenge 789: The Opera House
The newly-built opera house in Tenerife is an astonishing construction, echoing Sydney Opera House but taking the whole curved concrete thing so much further. It's a truly beautiful building, as impressive on the inside as it is on the outside.

To my eye, though, it looks like - well, never mind what it looks like to me. What does it look like to you?

High res is here.

Really good idea, David! I have done one with a similar theme. Mine has a boat in it.

Re: Challenge 789: The Opera House
Thank you. I was afraid you would point out the nautical silliness and inconsistencies. But it was fun to do.

Version 2

Replaced paddle wheel with something more minimalist and less traditional.

Frank - you've been playing a lot with Hit Film and it shows. I like the way that you used the keyframing to get the flying saucers to accelerate rather than just fly off at a constant speed. And the colour grading is excellent. Great idea to copy and flip the opera house the way you did.
Very nicely conceived and executed.

Best I have ever seen from you Frank! Love the clever mirroring of the building and a splendid new render too. Great atmosphere.

Thanks Gordon and David, just took my time and played with it - learned a few new things along the way, great fun. As usual Gordon, the end product is a totally different concept from what I had in mind when starting - my first idea was the crown on a dinosaurs head - parasaurolophus

Wow there's some ingenious entries this week. I love the paddle boat. It reminds me of a floating Willy Wonka factory.

Frank, looks like we have had the same idea! However, your entry is so beautifully executed. The atmosphere is inspiring. I love it.

Another symmetrical assembly. After 'inflation' it becomes a four way symmetry. Very nice Anna. Love the underwater too.

Although somewhat impractical Lancelot's new helmet was the talk of the Round Table.

Frank this is the best work I have ever seen you do.

Anna excellent as usual. Love the music. Who is it? Leona Lewis?
