Great POV Rich, i like the streak in the foreground on the water as it adds a little interest to an otherwise blank space, but i'm not sure I like the streak left by the plane, on this size image it looks more like a scratch, so I may have been tempted to clone that out, as for the city itself, WOW, that looks like one awesome place, I bet the atmosphere at night is excellent, it's so busy in that city it seems that this size photo could'nt hold the detail very well as it looks a little blotchy, but I dare bet blown up large this looks fantastic. Nice one Rich!

Hello again richard!
Really like this long exposed shot. Nice movement captured of the boat (i think) and plane. The lights in the buildings are exposed very well and only a couple that i can see at the herbour are over exposed which is to be expected. Really nice city scape!!

Nice nocturnal shot, the sky is interesting and the trail of the chopper adds an attractor to the composition.

I don't know if it's my screen or the pic, but it seems a little hazy, not saturated enough...but a truly fine exposure! LOVE the UFO in the sky! Very nice details and what a view! I'll post WS and see if it's me or monitor or what?

Hi Richard,

This shot came out great. It's an unusual view on the harbour. I guess the only way to get a new or different point of view on the harbour is renting a room in one of the fancy hotels :)
The helicopter trails is cool but it does look like a big scratch on your sensor.
I think the it is a bit desaturated. I checked your ws and I think that one is a bit over saturated. Somewhere in between.

Cheers,
Jens

Really good night shot Richard ! I love the way you did it at f20.0 at 30 seconds, that's the way ! The light of the jet plane and the boat is great. Marvelous shot my friend ! I've seen 100 and more points shot here that doesn't even compare !

Thanks !

Hi Richard,

Very nice .. I love the tone of the clouds.
I think the motion does a very nice job communicating the hustle I associate with Hong Kong. Very nice.

take care,

John

Hi Richard,
I like the warm color tone in this photo a lot. Most of the time these photos come out a bit cool, but yours has a great feel to it. I like the fact that you got two light trails in the photo. They create a lot of interest in the photo. The details and exposure look awesome.
TFS,

Hi Richard. A spectacular view from this good vantage point. I like the effect created so as to see the path of the plane across te nightsky. Classic HK. All the best for Xmas-New Year. Murray.
