    Rocks at Bang Saen Beach, Chon Buri, Thailand

    I like the coloured version better than the mono version. IMHO, the mono version is rather dull. You can use Channel Mixer to create stunning BW pictures.

    Nightlife at Clarke Quay

    Agreed! Where's the life? It's only a scene. Despite that, this is a great picture. But, longer exposure can make it better.

    Chanced upon a wedding photography session

    The color is not natural. Look at the sky and the shadows area in the bride's dress. It's bluish and the contrast is to high. In term of composition, you place the object too center. And the crane in the sky is so annoying.
