Waiting for the tram in Central district ...

Hong Kong Island's double-decker trams are not fast. For a flat fare of HKD.2 (dropped in a box beside the driver when you leave) you can travel as fas as you like.

Excellent compo, Sylvie. The wide aspect is perfect here, the people "nicely contained" in the left corner, and even the slogans seem to have been put there especially for you ;o). TFS.

Très belle photo, très bon sujet. J'aime beaucoup la façon que les personnages sur les affiches nous regardent, comme si on n'aurait pas le droit à l'erreur. Très bien fait!

I like the composition with a pano view. But i dont like the pic quality, too much grain and lack of sharpness.

j'aime bien cette composition basée sur les couleurs, les publicités... as tu vu aussi la proposition de maciekda sur TE depuis HK?

L'attente est bien saisie par les lignes horizontales, la présence des affiches dont le mec sombre, renforce ce qui est présent dans vos photos de ce voyage dans la chine urbaine: Réclame visuelle importante.
Bravo
Jean Michel

Très belle composition Sylvie, j’aime beaucoup les images que tu nous as ramenées de cette Asie ou les couleurs et la publicité semblent omni présente... encore!

Hi Sylvie, nice shot ;-) I like the way you positioned the group of people in that advertised world and its stron vertical and horizontal lines. Gives the shot the bit of tension needed.

different elements combining so nicely here. the slogans and the ads color, and it is perfectly... "enquadrado". sorry, don't know the correspondent english word for this ;)
congrats, um abraço.

ah mais ça alors !! t'as cropé LOL
superbe ta compo, j'aime beaucoup ce petit carré de vrais gens au milieu de l'omniprésence des panneaux publicitaires.
les couleurs sont impéccables et les regards sont pesants. malgré la couleur l'ensemble ne me met pas en joie (je parle de l'atmosphère restituée)
ils attendent ! mais qu'on attend pour être heureux, qu'est ce qu'on attend pour faire la fête.
voilà, c'est ça que me suggère ta compo!
félicitations pour cette photo
Pascal

Very interesting shot Sylvie - it really gives a message of people waiting to go somewhere - the aspect ratio really helps.

Another good shot of today's city-life and advertising world. I've tried that myself - to take photos of ads. But I see that you've been more successful than me. :)
Good composition (although - I'd say - advertisers have helped you a lot here - to place them this way) and well seen. "you go distance, we go further" could be said about those waiting for a train or bus... Oh, I really like this. :)
Keep your eyes wide open next year as well! :)
Cheers,Laine

I like it! The composition of horizontal and vertical lines, people among them, different colors. There are a lot od billboards there!

great crop Sylvie,
the foto itself looks like a poster to show the urban life:have to work efficient and have no choice to avoid waiting everywhere....
very interesting view from HK,
bravo,(does it mean CHEERS in English??)

Le photographe sous le regard publicitaire ... la publicité sous l'oeil du photographe ... superbe joute !!!

Sylvie, I like this a lot...I like it because everything seems to be perfectly placed, it has excellent color that stands out very well, and most importantly, because I think everyone is waiting to "go further"...we just have to push ourselves to do it.

happy New Year Slyvie! Cheerio, Flo

This should of course open up to be a lot bigger to get that poster society message with the dwarfed people across. But it is very well seen and works almost like a collage of images with one thing in common: The City.

i like this time of wide shots....and it shows the simplicity of daily life....nice compo and colours.....great shot!

China proved that is very attractive in photographs and you showed it in a unique way. Very good work there.

La pub, c'est incroyable comme on est noyé dans la publicité, cette composition le montre TRES BIEN. Bravo!

καλή βραδιά sylvie
premier bon point j'aime le cadrage de ta photo, un équilibre des différents éléments, je trouve la couleur un peu légère.
belle photo
jp

I liked the chaos at this pic;it's heavily concentrated actually.many eye-catching things all together.the boy standing there and the boy at the poster look alike the same,strange compo.
regards

I like this one for the bright colours mainly, but also the pun of going further with a tram.
You're really never short of ideas for contrasting!
