Here's my Australia Day banner entry...

All photos are my own, except the image of Sir Henry Parkes.

I tried to create a banner which expressed the greatest achievement in our nation's history - federation. Hence I have a picture of Sir Henry Parkes, the Father of Federation looking across to Parliament House in Canberra, the beating heart of our nation. This is followed by the Coat-of-Arms, another symbol of achivement and unity. The banner finishes with a picture of Melbourne which represents both the past and present - a past national capital and a thriving city of national and world standing.

I am keen to receive your feedback, and I hope you like my work.

Cheers,
The Olderfleet

Quite good!

I think Sir Henry Parkes looks a little out of place, also that is the spot where the SkyscraperCity logo will go so might not quite work there?? I noted your comment on fading the images together in the one I did, prehaps fading the picture of melbourne and canberra together with the coat of arms over the join would work better? I'm not really sold and the bluey/reddish area behind the coat of arms. But I like the idea, I might do another and borrow it

Nice work all up.

It's the flag.

Like the story behind it. Looks good. Nice photo of parliament house. Great sky!

Now to look at the rest

Eww Parkes.

Australia Day has nothing to do with the Fed.

Eww Parkes.

Australia Day has nothing to do with the Fed.

Who says? Isn't it a celebration of Australia? Isn't Federation one of the most important events in Australia's history, aside from the landing of the First Fleet?

You do know what the date stands for?

Australia Day is our national holiday and therefore can and should represent all things that define Australia.
