Hi Clare, Nice crowd scene! Good exposure and sharpness throughtout the shot. Maybe if you had caught a few more people looking toward the camera this would have been even more compelling, but I like it as it is.

Hi Clare,
Impressive masses of buildings and people. I like all the colours, action and sense of local culture there. But it certainly isn't my place, at least not at that time of the week.

Hi Clare !
You succeeded in capturing what makes Causeway Bay a bit different then other districts of Hong Kong (except maybe for Mong Kok) : the crowd. And on sunday, it's even worse !!
It's just a bit too bad to have the truck on the picture.
Anyway, it's a great scene !

Hey Clare,

Causeway bay is very popular with the locals, This shopping area always has a "festive" mood, specially during the weekends and at night.

Nice POV, capturing all the action and movement, the delivery truck seems helpless in getting through the mass crowd!

Gauh meng a!

Hi Clare
Nice shot of this shopping area. The crowded and claustraphobic feeling of the area is well conveyed in the shot. I like the pov and details in the scene; they are very well captured.

Hi Clare - oh my! Is that truck actually thinking of driving on that street? What makes this shot interesting is of course how it is completely (and I mean COMPLETELY) filled with humanity. The uniform black and white clothing also strikes the eye, while the truck adds a humorous touch.
