Photographer’s Note

Hong Kong Sevens - rugby competition.
Nice Chinese girls were carrying and selling beer but of course they couldn't sell it to young boys.

Standard changes in PS.

Is this a Chinese answer to Oktoberfest? These beer mugs are huge! However, other than the waitress, it's difficult to find any particular point of interest in this shot... IMHO, there are too many details without anything to anchor them together. Framing could probably be also improved by cropping the people on the left as well as a bit of the top. Still, it's a nice documentary shot of life in Hong Kong.

Ahh, Beer Girls! I'll say this now: anybody that posts a picture of a beer girl gets an immediate two points from me :)
Interesting picture too. There seems to be a radius of people around the boy for whom he is the centre of attention. Beer girl is taking it all in her stride though.

oh good shot Marcin, a lot of actions is going on. what's happening to that little boy?
if it was bright enough i would use a higher shutter speed for this shot to freeze all the movements and avoid the blurr.
it's a good shot though i like it!

A beer girl and a fallen boy. Quite contrasting incident.And there are at least three competing subjects here.
1. The beer girl
2. The fallen boy
3. His mother's rear end
This is one busy picture.

Great composition, and the expression on her face is good. Looks like she's thinking "maybe he'll buy a beer if I let him take my picture?". ;)

I'm also wondering what's occuring on the right there.
