PICTURE!, a photo from Hong Kong, Sud

Photographer's Note

A girl at the Peak Gallery taking a picture of herself with her tiny digital Nikon 3100. I wish I could see this picture!

and behind her is this boring touristy panoramic view of Hong Kong.... and in an hour Hong Kong from the Peak Gallery looked like that

it was quite dark, just after the sunset. I used ISO 400, that's why the picture is a bit grainy and the sky is white... no cropping, some minor PS adjustments

oh poor thing, why didn't you offer to take photo for her. Hahaha..this is a good one.
I like it.

Funny ! She makes such a face... Wonder how it looked like on the LCD. ^_^;
Nice humoristic shot. I think the sky isn't a problem here, as the whole woman's body has green as background.

Funny from the thumnail I thought she was using a slingshot to kill birds!!.. This is an very interesting portrait. I wish I could see the result too.

Great and orginal subject. I especially like how there is the same diagonal in the hillside and between the camera and eye. Great green/red tones and excellent framing.
I like this very-very much.

This girl looks amazing, it seems she is in her own world: SHE-CAMERA-AND BACKGROUND. Great photo, great moment. Usually photo of taking photos looks funny, when you take photo in lift and you can see yourself in mirrors, reflection. But this photo of girl, who is taking photo is great. On the other hand, she is not ugly, why her boyfriend didn't take photo. Who has her mobile number? I can take some photos for her :-))).

This is a moment well captured. The expression on the girl's face is just great. Very interesting note, and I actually like the grain in the photo too.

I wouldn't have thought this one of yours without the signature. Very funny. I've seen a few shots here on TE along this vein.

This isn't my fave of your shots but it's still good. A nice diagonal composition. The girl has a fun expression on her face (though I kinda wish we could see her other eye--then again that may have wrecked the composition).

Ya I made the 400ISO error on my last post too! Sometimes it's just too easy to forget what the camera is set too! Not a big prob though.

Cheers!

A nice spontaneous shot, not in your usual style. The diagonal composition is good and the girl`s expression is great.
