It's all about lighting :)
Warm and inviting lights come alive in the quaint streets of Tanjong Pagar. This is the place to hang around and enjoy the night scene after a busy day. Situated in the central business district of Singapore, you'll see pastel-colored facades, the fusion of old and new architecture. After sunset, it's all about dance, music, good food, and fine cocktails. This is probably the red light district and 'PRIDE' of Singapore, if there's any :)

Hello Freddie,

I do not like the Chinese cuisine, but I do like this shot ! The lightened parts really jump out of the darkness around it, and that gives this shot a little extra.

regards,

Luc.

Hi Fred
Looking at your photo takes me to china town.
For some reason chinatowns always seem to have shutters.
Excellent night shot

hi Fred

Nice capture of light and the color tone. The waterfront areas of Singapore are similar to HK and at night they spring into high gear of activities, attracting tourists. You have captured a corner of this. Very subtle light and exposure. Soft image.

TFS, bill

Sweet and beautiful.

Hola Fred,

Saludos,

Pako

Hello Fred, nice night shot, well composed, good details and very good technique, thanks!

Hello Freddie,
This is a nighttime street scenery with an artistic twist!
A fine dynamic composition, great colours & details...
The point of view is effective, but maybe the blue line in the bottom distracts a tad but all together attractive!

Hi Fred,
When doing my graphic work, this kind of mood and presentation had always win the heart of my client. The glowing lights striking out from dark black background. Very nice graphism here, my friend.

Hello Buddy

I really like this shot, rich colours. In out of africa Karen Blixen tells a story about a chinese man.... here it is.

There was a wandering Chinese
named Cheng Huan...

living in Limehouse...

and a girl named Shirley.

Who spoke perfect Chinese...

which she learned
from her missionary parents.

Cheng Huan lived alone
in a room on Formosa Street...

above the Blue Lantern.

He sat at his window...

and in his poor listening heart...

strange echoes
of his home and country...

They found them there
the next morning...

in their room
above the Blue Lantern...

the dead child
and the warlord...

with Cheng Huan's love gift
coiled about his neck.



Ye i know, dont know why but this is the image u created for me
