A tall ship in HK Harbour Photo

Photographer’s Note

Junks are one thing, but a tall ship against the backdrop of modern HK is another level of incongruity.

Great detail Richard, this is truly one of those juxtaposed images, well seen and wonderfully captured.

Hello Richard,
This picture is great ! Lights on the water, grey colors...I only regret that the red flag is not a little bigger !
Bravo
Marie

Hi,
An interesting image of contrasts. The buildings are huge but somehow they seem dwarfed by the presence of the ship and its 'defiant' posture as it passes by. Enjoyable, thanks.
Dougie.

Well its the prefect HK picture, Richard. The silhouette of he junk is perfect and perfectly placed and the soft grays of the tower blocks behind make in real HK. Regards kevin

Very intresting contrast between modern skyscrapers and rather oldfashioned tall ship - it's nice to see those light grey buildings and dark grey ship (with several others colours visible). Anyway good composition and quality of this photo

Regards,
Pawel

Hello Richard,
This is a wonderful shot. A fantastic capture.
Getting this ship is even better than an old Chinese junk, because it also symbolizes a moment from history when the British first arrived.
And from I can find out, it is actually a replica of 'The Bounty', and is anchored in Discover Bay.
Excellent detail. Very well framed.
Best regards,
Andrew

Interesting contrast between thisnice replica and the buidings behind. The ship looks like the Endeavour, but I am not sure of that.

All the best,

Emmanuel
