Hong Kong, Yesterday, a photo from Hong Kong, South

Photographer's Note

Just an another picture I took yesterday (I hope I am not boring you).. It was just after the sunset, incredible view, incredible colors everywhere....
So, this is a view from a hill in Shek Kip Mei District in Kowloon. Yesterday I wrote about a little about Shek Kip Mei and old public estates in this area, you can see some of them in this picture, at the bottom, H shaped. So the area see is Kowlooon. In the distance you can see one tall building - it is almost completed, it is the tallest building in Mong Kok district now. Far in the distance you can see some hills - this is Hong Kong Island. And far, far in the distance, above those buildings on the right side you cas see a bright spot - this is the top part of the tallest building in Hong Kong - just completed 88-storey IFC2, one of the tallest in the world, probably the 3rd one.

Original shot, PS - sharpening, levels.

Excellen shot like your previous one. Beautiful, just beautiful. I like how the trees make the atmosphere "softer". WOW.

I like this shot Maciej. Colors are great, and it is a large view which allows us to scale how dense Hong Kong is.
These trees in the foreground are welcomed, they are like a hope that buildings have stopped invading Nature.

Colourful, sharp, vibrant picture. Wouldn't like to have to breath in all that smoggy haze though!

A good shot, showing a large area and a variety of different buildings. I especially like the bright lights coming from street level. Well captured.

Another great shot! It's like an architectural Christmas tree! I can't make up my mind about the tree on the left, but it doesn't detract overly. In fact, now that I look at it again, I do like the tree there. Areally superb shot!

Fabolous is what I have to say. Perfect clarity, captivating colors and a great well balanced composition.

I must say that this shot is very engaging. Your composition is verfy well-seen especially because of the addition of the tree in the foreground.

Wonderful shot. Seems like the glimmering apiary. The tree on the left makes a good balance to the composition.

A superb night shot. The sharpness of this image is just perfect. I really like the composition with the tree and the building in the middle. Interesting note as well.
