Hello dear Cheuk,
This b&w shot is also great. Very nicely composed and good pov. The busy foreground and the impressive beauty at the signboard unifies themselves to a great compo.
Very well done my friend
TFS and have a nice weekend

Hi Cheuk. A brave and creative B&W to contribute. A busy place normally filled with colour and noise. The clear focus on the background advert, brings it together. TFS. Murray.

Your title isn't very inspiring but your photo is, Cheuk ;o) Lve the softness of the REAL people, contrasted with the sharpness of Barbie Xu.
Excellent work,
Francis

j'aime bien ça... belle ambiance de créée... ce flou et ces parapluies en 1er plan... cette femme irréelle qui nous regarde... très bon

Hi Cheuk,

this has a very dreamy quality to it, and I like the dark b/w youve shown us. Mysterious shot, a bit romantic.

There's quite an intimate connection with the woman in the poster, emphasised by the anonymity of the blurred passers-by.
I think it's very well seen and well taken - dark and moody, perfect for black and white.
Good work Cheuk Hin.

Cheers,
Ben

Hi Cheuk, i don't know the actress in the poster...but the iamge is very good, with a rainy atmosphere and a very good composition..

Brilliantly done, Cheuk Hin. umbrellas are always a favorite for me, and the way you've used them as blurred foreground silhouettes was really clever.

"Barbie" makes an attractive subject, although I suspect lots of face surgery (eye and nose) has been involved. I hate when chinese girls think they look better with these impersonal nose and eyes. If only they knew how attractive asian eyes are to the westerners.

Nothing to nitpick.

Hi Cheuk, i do like this one, i like the result of this compo, excellent choice of BW, and the ants with umbrellas going i odn't know where in very first foreground inaddition to this beautiful "look" in foreground creates a great mood.
Congratulations, this was not an easy shot and the result is good :)
