    My first thought was: oh, geez- needs a polarizer! And my second thought was: needs more foreground. I love shots like this, however- I'm a sucker for cityscapes! I don't live near any, so it's great to see some good pics of them. Other than the two things I mentioned, this is great- a real classic look- I'll bet it's even better at night. Great job!

    I love the colours, I love the composition and I might just be in love with Hong Kong too!

    Seriously, Hong Kong appears to be an especially fascinating place on earth and you portray it very well as usual.

    I would be curious to see how it would look in a panoramic ratio with the Xpan.

    regards

    Nice shot Yoyo. I wouldn't change much except to zoom in a tiny bit more (I think making the buildings relatively larger at the expense of a little less rock along the bottom right portion of the frame would be a good trade-off), and I'd pull some of the blue out of the buildings. I realize a lot of it is actual reflection off the windows but I do notice some "blue haze" in there also. I might try going to the blue channel in Curves and pulling the end points back a bit and see how it affects things.
