Description

Even in a city as proudly and unashamedly modern as HongKong, some of the old ways survive.

Super contrast between old and new. You really capture the sense of the old and modern mingling. I like the sense of space here too. Glad you re-posted it! =]

Amazing viewpoint here...the huge mountains and the sea with a very futuristic city in between. In addition, you captured a very sweet portrait of the men fishing as they probably have for centuries! This is a very cool shot and almost unreal!! :-) Excellent!

Nice idea. I don't know what you have done but the buildings look like an impressionist painting (which I like!). Or maybe it's natural haze.

Love the contrasts between the people calmly fishing and the hussel and bussel of a modern city. Wonderful capture!

I love that contrast of old and new as Kort pointed out.That's because we both remember the 'old' Hong Kong.Still so wonderful to see that some of the old ways will never die.A brilliant shot Charles.-M :)
