Question Hong Kong Victoria Harbour

Shot this picture about a year ago using a digital P&S. What do you think?

It looks a bit washed out, but nothing you couldnt fix in PS. Good shot.

It may have to do with the high compression (55% of JPEG quality only) and physically reduced resolution (width + height is less than 800 pixels) in compliance with the rules in this forums.

That's a beautiful shot.

I was in Hong Kong a little over forty years ago. It appears to have changed a bit.

"A bit" is rather modest in this case. I was away from Hong Kong two times for about five years each time. I had to re-learn new streets, new buildings, same buildings with new names, new music cultural, new slangs, and etc. One thing hasn't changed, though, the wife is still the same.

Btw, thanks for the compliment.

Being a newbie in photography, I am learning it a little at a time. Thanks for the comment.
