Am I in the picture?!!! Photo

Photographer’s Note

Took this one on Sunday near the Exhibition Center in Hong Kong. Everyday Thousands of tourists come to this place to take pictures here because this is where Hong Kong was officially handed over to China on 1st July 1997.
It's just crazy to imagine how many photoes have been taken here!

Anyway usually it's a group of people making the silly "V" sign, but this guy was all alone and trying to take pics of himself in front of those monuments. I don't think he got very many nice ones - maybe apart from the one that I took for him! :P

Adjusted the levels and added changed it to BW. Also added some noise because I think it looks alright like this.

hi SK, nice picture, good moment, i like the pose and expression of the guy, good compo too with him off centered. i wish the background was a bit "more organised", a group of people is behind the guy, we see some of them a bit - distracting - you should start paying attention to the action in the background, it is very important to have (besides an interesting main subject) an interesting and somehow organised background. anyway, nice shot
