Hello Jom!
You know what would have been very very cool? A man/woman going toward your left who would have passed just between you and that dd. the light beams would have looked as if they were going out of that person...I realize I have difficulties explaining what I mean...I hope you get it...
As usual, you master the light in night condition. You've really become a master at it. The point of view you chose is also interesting. It seems like you were quite low on the ground so that we look like ants looking toward the skyscrapers.
Another good night shot of yours. I hope you are doing fine my friend,
Marc

Interesting photo this one, Jom. It's good to see famous landmarks taken in a different way.
The sharpening you've applied here is a nice bonus as well.

Another great shot from HK, the superposition is a good idea, it adds more light to this amazing city, a festival of lights !

Hi John

From a new POV, the tone is totally different but it works, futuristic, modern. Well done.

Hi Jom,
Beautiful shot of static and moving city lights. Dynamic upwards angle. Tones of artificial lights are well in harmony with dark blue sky.

Hi Jom,
It may look a little bright at places but otherwise the passing bus light trails dynamism transmits well the night frenzy in HK, good result achieving this with a compact.
Have a nice day,

This is another great shot Jom. Thinking outside the box. Love the streaking color creating a very "artisticky" effect. A very original view on Hong Kong also. Color throughout is excellent, as well as sharpness and composition. A great looking shot...I am trying to find something to nitpick about, but it looks really well done. Maybe a bit dark up top, but as I said, nitpicking...

Another one of your "not so good" shots? (I see it was taken in 2004. If so, you may want to start going through your oldies and start selling them!!!

Nice
John

PS - here's another shot like yours from Hong Kong that I thought of when I saw yours (just in case you didn't see it).

PSS - Talked to Rich a little while back - he was complaining about moving into a new house and just got married and painting the fence...blah,blah,blah...he said he'll be back soon but too busy now...talk about screwed up priorities...

hello, jom. very nice capture and an interesting effect. i find it fascinating how the "opposite of speed" (slow shutter speed) creates an illusion of speed. nice colors, excellent DOF and great composition. a great note too. TFS.

regards,
kristaps
