I visited Hong Kong about two years ago, I like it...Sadly I didnt have a good camera at that time....

Loved all your pics, 5, 6 are my favs

I think # 5 would be really cool if you cloned out the guy in the yellow. You did a great job with the DOF in that photo and the yellow is just distracting. Good shots though!

The "Game Boy" photo is wonderful.

I count myself doubly lucky - one that I'm fortunate to live in Hong Kong and two that I've recently got myself a decent camera. It's a great place to live and a great place to photograph :D.

Good shots though!Benjammin and Reeforbust - now that you mention it, that guy is totally distracting. Unfortunately, most of these were single shots. I really need to take my time more and consider the background and get a few more shots. I was with my family on this day though.

I'm absolutely useless with Photoshop (hoping to improve though) and wouldn't know where to start with cloning. I thought it might help if I changed the shot to B & W - i think he is slightly less of a distraction.

6 and 7 I like ...Thanks for the comment Condyk. Both shot with my new 50mm 1.4 lens :D

The "Game Boy" photo is wonderful.Thanks for the comment Combat Camera.

Interesting views on favourite shots. I've been trying to shoot more people but can never resist taking those other interesting shots!

Thanks for the comment - I enjoy trying to capture the diversity of HK life (not always successfully). There are some more shots on my website which might make you want to come back even more :) - feel free to check them out.

Does anyone have any comments on the B & W version of the gameboy photo? Is the guy in the background any less distracting? I didn't like it at first but it's growing on me - any views welcome.
