[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
On Nathan Road, main avenue of Kowloon (Hong Kong) at night, many flashy ads everywhere ...
An opportunity to refer to "Chungking Express", one of the movies of my favourite Hong Kong film director, Wong Kar Wai.

A movie where you can smell the atmosphere of this amazing city ... I had seen this movie and the other ones from WKW, years ago before going to Hong Kong.
The city was almost familiar to me maybe because or thanks to Wong Kar Wai's films.

Hi Sylvie,
Nice shot. You can just smell the atmosphere of this amazing city. ;P The diagonal is quite energetic. But, so is this the feeling from this night scene. I know the building is close, but, somehow with all the bright lights it seems a live. Well seen.

Hi Sylvie, I have never been to Hong Kong and I have not seen anything like this before... Maybe I have not looked.

You have certainly captured the spirit of a city which apparently does not stop...

bonsoir sylve.
Cadrage exposition tout est bon.
Babila est mot que l'on retrouve un peu partout ici sur cette photo que peut-il bien représenter ?

Hi Sylvie,
Nice colours on that picture, one can feel it's a bright night thanks (?) to all the advertisement, and the whole stuff (letters...)
I like the repetition, which is part of a huge modern city, as you show us.

That´s what i call a daily-not-so-daily-maybe-a-bit-more-nighty-than-daily shot, Sylvie ;)) A fine capture really bringing us the mood of a night at a flashy city like this one. Nice :)
