Jumbo, the famous Restaurant at Aberdeen (captured from the back side, in the workshop the frontside).

This is also a place for Junks and Sampans. Sampans are little boats for transportation. Never seen such a crowdy place with so much noise and smell of gasoline. But it is a impressive place because of the buzz of activities.

Hello Achim,
A pleasing composition with a nice mixture of colourful architecture and the speeding boat in the foreground. Good vibrant colours and clarity.

Nice shot, not only showing the building with the interesting decoration, but also the water and the boat there. The colour combination seems ver harmonious too, which always adds a lot to a photo. Well done!

Hallo Achim,
The sight of this famous restaurant that we see in your WS, is most known, but your original photo has a better lighting and better colors, in addition, the boat of foreground adds dynamism to this scene.
Good POV and good setting to be able to see this original floating architecture.
Best regards,
Josep

Achim, c'est une photo pleine de couleurs pour ces bâtiments où le traditionnel côtoie l'industriel. Une photo qui montre l'évolution rapide de ce pays.

Hello Mr President
Nice original composition just for the eyes about colours, very impressive indeed.
But I am not sure to go into the restaurant to have my food with gazoline smells :))
Cheers.

Witaj Achim!
Curious place, architecture and colors. Interesting composition and frame. Well done.

Hallo Achim,
farbenfroh, bewegt und gut gescannt. Der Standpunkt war vermutlich selbst ein Boot und zeigt gut das Restaurant und die Szenerie. Der Workshop ist da schwächer.
Lieben Gruss, Ulf

Hola Achim.
A colorful shot of the famous restaurant, beautiful architecture and your composition is very good. Also your WS with the front side of the restaurant is great with the skyscrapers of Hong Kong in the back.
Well done. TFS.

Pretty strange : the red big restaurant, the green small plant, the boat... So many subjects in one shot. Interesting pov even if the one in the WS is really interesting too !!

Bonjour Achim,
des couleurs fantastiques que tu as pris soin de bien nous restituer.
Verts et rouges éclatent sous le bleu imposant du ciel.
Un paysage un peu irréel comme tiré d'un film, je prends beaucoup de plaisir à la découvrir lentement.
Bien à toi.
Daniel.

Hello Achim
Amazing capture of daily life & documentary value. A contrast of architecture, the rubbertyre banked boat...this presents a different Hong Kong we are habituated in seeing. Thanks for sharing!

Hi Achim,

Contrast seizing between the traditional one and the modern one. It is that Hong Kong apparently, a city crawling and full with life. Very interesting photograph supplemented by a very good WS, thank you Achim.

With all my friendships and a very good WE,

Jean-Charles

Hi Achim!
Good colourful shot! I like the different colours of the buildings and especially this boat in the foreground.I also like the perspective in the workshop.
Good work!

It really seems to be a busy and smelly place, Achim. The colors are not very well matched and the purpose of the buildings either, but nothing that you can do about it. Quite the contrary you got the opportunity to get this interesting backdoor shot of the Jumbo restaurant.
