Thinking back, this shot's credit must go to Sjourn
I passed my camera to him and ask him to shoot from the stage
Since he was already there.

Sorry Sjourn for the mistake.
BTW nice shot. Good timing!

I didn't quite like this one because the focus seems to be on "Rivervale" cos my eye is drawn immediately to that because of the bright wordings and the MP is soft - or is that the intention?

#4 - special effects without photoshop...

#5 - the chopsticks with the lo hei says it all and creates an emphasis...works for me!

#4 - for the candid moment
#5 - like the way the boy is frozen whilst people are moving behind.
#7 - nice "pattern"

Nice Shots

Some pointers

Toasting, a slower shutter speed whould have added some movement and more ambient light.

Praying, a slightly lower POV would have cleaned the BG

Pity the BG was very distracting.

very nice angle think Ms Low will like this one very much ... good job, PNPC should give you a good service award for continuously covering the event, hehe

for the rest, i agree the background is too messy, anyway nothing to do with the photographer ... for the shot 'Praying for a better year ahead' a lower angle will actually include this stick of bright flourescent tube (just look at my shots ) , don't think that'll be nice also, i guess this is quite a good catch for the setting

... the 'kungfu boy' shot looks rather funny ... i mean that moment you freeze

not exactly intentional, wanted to give equal emphasis on the word and the MP at the same time actually, guess the words are just too bright in this case ... some of the other guys should have much better versions of this

thanks the people at this table (#7) were super lucky, won the lucky draw prizes several times, must be the Lo Hei power
