Hello Harry, very nice shot and also hard to get to the view itself due to the crowd at the vista point. Good sharpnes and well captured the light pollution above Kawloon. Thanks for sharing. Cheers, Michael

Wowww! I have not seen this "popular motiv" before and it strikes my "ignorant" senses! A masterpiece of a photo! But I would not like to live in this jungle of modern architecture...

Thank you Harry for sharing and for showing in an indirect way that there is no better place for living, than our old Europe, is there?
Regards,
Anton

Hello Harry, this is a beautiful shot looking down from the peak. I like the lights and the colours. It is a sharp and detailed image but somehow you seem to have captured a softness too.

Harry thanks so much for sharing this. I have an almost identical shot that unfortunately was taken without a tripod and with a 2Mp camera. :-( I have had to resort to posterizing to make it displayable. But I remember that night and scene with such fondness. It is truly one of the classic panoramas of the world, not to be missed, and you have presented it faithfully and beautifully.

I regret the foreground with the parapet inside the frame, but I can understand you wanted to share this view "anyway". Must be really impressive, and it's not so common to see this pov at night...

Surely one of the better shots I have seen from the peak, and so much more spectacular at night. Nice exposure.

Hi Harry,

I was browsing and came across this fine night view of the city. I like the pov with the buildings forming an arrowhead. The colours are deep and varied, it's sharp and I like the mist hanging above the river. A fine capture my friend, you lucky dog!

Regards

Stephen

Hello Harry,
Well, I had not seen a night shot of this popular motive yet.
I like the black top and bottom of this picture with the city and its many lights in between. Good POV so we can also see the bay (or river) in the middle of Hong Kong.
It looks very impressive.
Best regards, Paul
