Shopkeeper in Hong Kong

Lars Finkelstein · 26th of August 2007 (Sun)

HK is a fantastic city with a lot of character. Wish I could go back there anytime soon. C + C highly appreciated.

Thanks for looking

Excellent shot of the local apothecary. I like how his wares are displayed behind him, revealing his profession. He must be a wise old man. Thanks for sharing, welcome to the forum!

love the expression on his face, nicely framed image too.

I like it.
Have you tried it in B&W? Perhaps with a contrast bump too.

kenyc · 27th of August 2007 (Mon)

yes I like it and the portrait, but it feels a bit like all those jars are about to fall off the shelves, not sure if it's the angle of the shot or what but it makes me nervous.

thank you all so much for your comments

.

@darsk I tried the b+w, but I didn't manage to get a really good looking picture. Why don't you have a go?

I'd be delighted to see your (probably better) attempts at PP

bikerider · 29th of August 2007 (Wed)

hmmm I liked the idea of b&w too, here's my take

Darsk47 · 29th of August 2007 (Wed)

I don't think the OP had the editing OK displayed when he posted. It's on now. I think the B&W is a better looking image....good stuff bikerider.

I love the composition of this shot. Nice work. I really like the B&W version of it!

kenyc · 29th of August 2007 (Wed)

Yep, good job on the conversion B.R.

Good shot. The conversion to B&W looks good, but still prefer the softer colours of the first.
