hong kong Hong Kong skyline from Kowloon

I was going for a different angle from the ubiquitous Hong Kong

skyline shots. What do you think?

Nice lines. Good job

Wery powerful photo. Like it very much. Is the sky original or added by Photoshop?

The sky is "real" - I used photoshop to reduce the contrast a bit (the buildings were a bit bright compared to the rest of the picture) but it's otherwise unmanipulated.

...the best cityscape I've seen.

Wonderfully dramatic sky and well-lit foreground structure!

If you take pictures like that then I bet you make good living with your camera. so long Gejza

I entered this competition and was quite annoyed to see that this won second prize! I've got a shot a lot like this, and didn't bother entering it, as I considered it a bit run-of-the-mill. Oh well, you can't win them all!

my only complaint is that it's not nearly large enough!!!

I'd love to have a larger version for a desktop background.

It really was excellent in color as well. Just as I thought.

High marks for aesthetics and originality. Great composition and colors. Unique vision. Thanks.

I took a shot with same angle for the same subject. However, yours is far more better than mine. Great shot.

Love this one. And it was done with a Tamron 28-200! I used one for a few years myself. Great lightweight travel lens pooh-poohed by experts, but very capable if used well...as proven here!!

This image is great. The colours are fantastic, and the clarity is superb. I prefer this one over the B&W version primarily because the B&W version is simply a desaturated verion of this one. Keep up the good work.

I saw this yesterday and have been thinking about it since. Absolutely fucking outstanding. And the best part is, you shot it with that "low contrast" Tamron zoom (my lens, too).
