Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master.

Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Believe it or not, a window is a family! :( :(

Half of Hong Kong's population(about 3.5 million) is living in public rental housing provided by government. :( :( :(

Great shot Mr. Poon.

I have said this once today, but this photo also qualifies - it looks like a photo from national geographic. Great idea, well executed.

Creative shot Mr Poon.
Birddog plenty of snakes in Australia to make soup. Although I can see many advantages in going to HK to eat the snake soup. :lol:
cheers

Interesting shot Poon, it's like looking through a pair of binoculars at the building.

I hope drinking the snake soup while in Hong Kong is not a requirement, because Vicki and I are planning a holiday in HK next March!

Cheers

I guess so guys. I know I have eaten and thoroughly enjoyed 'file snake' cooked simply by the locals up in the gulf country of carpentaria. A delicacy indeed. :wink:

That's something I remember from my trip to HK, so many of those huge apartments. Coming in from the airport, and esp from Victoria Peak, heaps and heaps of them ....

Canon 20D and a bunch of lovely L glass and a 580EX. Benro tripod. Manfrotto monopod. Lowepro and Crumpler bags. And a pair of Sigma teleconverters, and some Kenko tubes.

Oh the memories... :D

Nice image, I'm surprised you managed to find holes to see through without bits of rubbish stuck into them.
