Photographer’s Note

Another side to the urban landscape of Hong Kong. This is taken from the Big Buddha, which surprisingly, is on the same island as HK international airport.

Hi Chris, strong contrast here between the very green foreground and the background, in addition to the intense green colors I like here the shape of the middle tree.

Bonjour Chris,
Je ne sais pas pourquoi, mais il se dégage de cette composition une sorte de plénitude totale ; une sérénité, peut-être est-ce dû à cet aspect vertical (arbres et montagnes dirigés vers le ciel, c'est rarement vers la terre, j'en conviens !)
Une très belle prise de vue Chris.
Je suis "zen".
Merci !

Hi Chris, the three trees on the forground its lovely, the mountain with the rouge colour on the hillside, and the pic of the mountain range almost the heaven. Very calm and placid image.

Interesting trees in the foreground. The mountain in the background looks very impressive in this perspective. The color is very distinctive to the foreground, that gives a nice effect. Well done.

great colours of the mountain and the patterns from the trees are great, well done

Not your best image Chris, but still intersting composition.
I never would have thought about a Hong Hong landscape...
A surprise..
have a nice evening

We've already seen some of these HK surprises in Andrew Orme's photos, and this is another good example, Chris. Simple, but well-made shot in which the way that the upward line of treetops echoes the mountain shape in the back is well applied for the compo.

Nice one Chris, Not your best but even very nice. The trees works as a sort of siloets and in the behind the big mountain, with lovely colour, very nice job

spence (1554) 2004-11-29 16:40

Simple, graphic, with beautiful light. A lovely sense of calmness. I like it a lot Chris.

Last thing that I would expet from a shot from HK is nature, Chris, I would expect a very densed urban view. This what makes your shot very special, with no traces of city, people, buildings or any artifivail object. Nice and tranquil.

Beautiful presentation Chris, excellent framing with the threes, nice soft colors, I like the shape and texture of this mountain, well seen, thanks for sharing.

dsidwell (9745) 2004-11-30 10:53

Very strong composition here, Chris. I'm tempted to darken the mountain just a tad, but ontly tempted. Elements work together here quite nicely!

joseelias (367) 2004-12-03 7:33

Very nice POV with a cleaver use of the trees as a frame to that imposing mountain. Also like the haze at the back which enhances the sense of distance.
