for the rest, not that they are bad, but they are not exceptionally good.

#2 definitely more interesting than #1, i like the quirkiness that i feel from the shot, a very different perspective. is pretty new to me because have never seen it that way before. a pity that there was a pair of legs at the top right, else this would be perfect for me. #3 is slightly overexposed - take note of that, #4 and #5 are well, pretty alright compositions, but not exceptional, like i've said before.

Yes! I do agree that the extra pair of legs are quite distracting. There's no way I can crop it off though. :P And yep, they are definitely not exceptional pieces. Just want to capture some shots that are not easily seen locally.

Thanks for your comments! Will take note.

I like this...it's more special than the rest... though i can't make out the facial expression clearly but 1 look i know they are all happy...

Btw just wondering, did u increase the color saturation during PP??? ur pictures seems quite vibrant and colorful until they are a tad un-natural to me...

Thanks, Sunboi! I like this photo because they seemed to be enjoying themselves very much too. Esp the guy who stretched out his hands.

Yeah, I did pump up the color saturation a little, but I guess the unnatural part comes in when I lighten up the picture. The original picture turned out darker than I thought and I didn't get to see their expressions clearly.

Thanks, Zoossh! Yeah, she might 'jump'. :P

Not really, but I noticed that's how most girls on the streets are dressed up - with at least a cardigan/sweater on. It was rather cold at the Peak at night though.
