Tsingtao, a photo from Hong Kong, Sud

Photographer's Note

Another impression of Hong Kong, and I can't finish with it wthout some reference to Tsingtao, the ubiquitous local beer. Not bad, but in South East Asia I still think Singha in Thailand takes some beating.

Hello Richard,

thanks for this very graphical picture which takes interest due to the 2 people shadow like.
They seem to be in pure black, have you performed some level adjustments to get those values?

Yves.

Hi Richard,
local because chiniese, but it is brewed much farther north, with the olympics sponsoring we can see the upcoming games won't be any less commercial than the passed ones, good action added by the people silhouettes.
Have a nice day,
Jean-Yves

Hello Richard,

Un cliché original. Bien cadré. La composition est assez réussie et la mise en paralléle des silouhettes et des bouteilles fonctionne assez bien !
Bien vu !

A+

Hi, Richard.
The advertisement background is not your work ;)
But the silhouettes are very well caught here and very well composed, and finally, is well your shot and your own work ;).
I like it.
Best wishes. Grazyna.

Well we have Leo and Chang too you know, Richard. I love this one. The figures are placed just perfectly and I love the ambiguity; one doesn't know if the railing is real or part of the poster and the beach seems to be stretching out beyond them, but it can't be, because it's part of the poster. It is very well seen and very enjoyable. regards Kevin

Hi Richard,
Interesting combination of silhouetted people and the big ad poster. Was it back lit or what makes the brightness difference? Very nice commercial design and with one of my favourite subjects. (I mean beer in general, don't really remember what Tsingtao tastes.)

Very nice, coolwork, Richard, well timed and technically accomplished. It's very HK, very China and makes me want to jump on a damn plane, anywhere in THAT region and away from HERE, but I'll have to wait my turn in late april for that...
Sorry about the dreamy rant - it's your fault, you know...;o)
Cheers,
Francis

Myanmar beer takes some beating too Richard. I like the framing with the two guys silhouetted on the opposite to the bottles. If only there were three guys.

Hi Richard

Excellent sharpness & well composed, with superb color & pov. I like the fg silhouettes & their graphism. Tfs!

Creative work here Richard. The poster and the people in silhouette really makes a most effectful and interesting result. Very good.

Hi Richard.

Very interesting and suggerent picture where you make a clever work with the dark foreground and the lightened background.

Well done.

Really original. I love it. Sharpness is excellent as composition. Color are fantastic. I like the foreground silhouettes too. Very good work!

Nice silhouettes. I've added this one to my theme of Adverts in Real life. One for your list "Tiger" beer on top of the peak in HK on a hot afternoon - one of the great sensations in life.
