I only liked a few composition wise. Most of the compositions do not really suit the panoramic format well, in my opinion. Especially for the pictures where the framing is tilted. For example, the one with the coconut tress (Pulau Ubin, 2001). Why use a panoramic format when the left and right sides are going to be so dark? And the tilting really does not work for me in this picture.
What about distracting foreground and background objects?
For "Chinese Garden", I am sure if some CS member post something like that here, he will be bombarded by the rest for putting the tree trunk in the middle of the frame for no apparent reason.
Also quite annoyed by his tendency to chop of part of people's heads or facces. When doing head & shoulder shots or facial closeups, where the focus in on the person's face, it is sometimes OK to exclude part of the head (and sometimes chin). But for full body pictures, it just looks like sloppy framing to me.
Colour wise, a lot of the shots look like poor WB and levels control to me.
Just my opinion. I could have missed the meaning behind the abstract composition entirely, since I have never been a fan of abstract photography. Not meant as an attack on ckiang or anyone here. Please don't take offence.
