[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Macau boosts a great mix of traditional Chinese and Western (Portuguese) architecture. This little square and fountain park is on a hill next to the St Paul cathedral facade and the style of buildings here is very interesting, traditional Portuguese I guess.

I believe they're travelers looking at the map. And like in Portugal there's lot of night life in Macau...a small but exotic place to visit.

Hope you like this, any comments very welcome :)

I have been to Macau a few years ago and I still remember much of my visit. The city has a wonderful historical center with beautiful buildings and places. I believe the Portuguese really made a big effort before the handover to China rule.
Your picture is quite good even if I think it is a bit OE around the lamp lights.

Hi CheukHin,
This could be a travel guide shot. Creating pleasant atmosphere on a beautiful and peaceful corner of the city. Two travellers planning the next day or looking for tips for nightlife. I like it, it's so Lonely Planet!

Bonsoir Cheuk Hin
je sais qu'une telle lumière n'est pas facile à faire ressortir et je trouve que le 50mm à ouverture 1.4 donne un très bon résultat. Quand je pense que tes photos m'ont déjà incité à me procurer le 70-300mm... je sens que ce genre de prise va me faire craquer pour cet objectif. Bravo, j'aime beaucoup. Le cadrage est très bien vu
amicalement

Hi Cheuk,
Very nice night shot.I love the capture of the motion of the fountain and the night atmosphere here.The light from the lamps is very warm.A very good one!
Greetings,

Hi Cheuk,
I saw "China" on the thumbnail and when I clicked on the photo I thought "He must have made a mistake!" ;o)
Macau is really very different and looking at your picture I feel more like this is Europe than China. I went to Macau when I was a kid with my parents but only spent a day there and I guess I was too young to remember these details.
As Kari says, this would make a great travel guide shot and I really like the atmosphere here.
Have a nice day.
Brigitte

Excellent lighting and colours. Just another superb night shots of yours!

Hey Cheuk,

It's like seeing a fountain of champagne! Crystal clear, subtle bokeh surrounding the subject. Quite a romantic shot with the inclusion of the couple, though looks like they're doing a checklist on the spots they've visited.

Hope you're good my friend!

Always,

Jom
