Streets of Hong Kong

[Chew Siow Ming]

few humble pics taken in Hong Kong last week .

Pic 1


Pic 2


PS: Nikon 18-200mm VR proven to be very handy

first pic is a little too dark and in your opinion what do you find interesting about it?

[djork]

pic 2 is slightly dull (i admit i'm not a fan of 'straight-up' shots), and the nice sky compensates for that.

you shot this at the wrong time of the day... the buildings except for the skyscraper are all in a dull shade of colour. what are you trying to emphasize in this picture?

[Chew Siow Ming]

Ok... enough of boring & dull buildings, my apology if those pic irritate u, here is one pic to add on.

personally I thought if you do the boat woman shot in paronomic view, to include the extra field where the woman is looking (on the left) and include the waters where she come from (on picture right), will tell of a better story..

and give it a better contrast.. it seems a bit soft for me personally

From the pics, the weather was good when u visited last week. Great blue skies.. that time when I visit, everyday was cloudy.
