[Notas - Normas] Nota do Artista
I spotted this daily life scene in Aberdeen, a neighborhood of Hong Kong with an attractive atmosphere, by the water, where there are many boat houses and some other typical ones, called 'sampam' where tourists can take a trip and go around all the boats.

I found the mix of the modern scyscrappers, allways seen from everywhere, with the traditional fluvial daily life scene very interesting.

this is a scanned imge from the negative.

Hola Ricardo: The vertical lines of the skycrappers drive you to the action of the people in the port. What a contrast! I have to congratulate you also for the way you´ve handle the light considering the background was in the light and the action of the people in the shadow. Obrigado.
Miguel

Hi Ricardo
Incredible Hong Kong. Contrast in the building, contrast in the way of life. This picture is nice. Excellent work

Hi Ricardo
this is an excellent POV. You have captured an everyday scene and nice framing to emphasize the buildings in the distance. Nice details and colours as well. This is a good contrast between new and old. Very good.

Thanks

I don't think I've ever seen such a contrast between old and new; the skyscrapers look so out of place. The scan has come out well and I don't detect any noise. Well done; very interesting.

Bonsoir Ricardo,
Vous avez raison, la juxtaposition d'éléments modernes et de l'ancien est particulièrement frappante. La méthode de travail est également un élément qui étonne, la modernité ne s'installe pas partout.
Bravo pour cette très intéressante prise de vue.
Amitiés.
Philippe

Hi Ricardo
Good daily life image here...the contrasts are fascinating. You've done a good scanning job here considering how difficult the work is (I now understand)

Hola Ricardo.
As says Miguel, the vertical lines are the key of the photo. Not only are the key: are the best way of understand and make this photo.
The scene with the people working is good and interesting too.

Regards.

ola ricardo,
nothing to complain about in this image, imo :-))
particularly what i like is the fact that the man is barefoot and the skyscrapers look as if staring at the men in the foreground;
best wishes, j.

Está excelente para a ideia que queres transmitir. Melhor, melhor, eventualmente só com as torres maiores, retirando as mais pequenas à esquerda.

Good daily life shot, Ricardo, that captures the juxtaposition of old and new in Hong Kong very well. Cheers . . . David

Ola Ricardo,
Well the scan cannot compare with a crisp digital shot, but the framing here as well as the succession from a daily scene up to the Aberdeen housings are nice. The architect in you must have been delighted in such a crazy place...
Have a nice day,
JEan-Yves

Ola Ricardo!!
Estetica e informação neste belo enquadramento, e o que voce obteve, parabens.
Abraços.

Hej Ricardo,
A very good and interesting combination in this picture. I like a lot these skyscrapers in the background as well as the daily life in the foreground. Colours and light are good too, well done!

Hi Ricardo, Good composition fitting the title exactly. It is always good to see the historic and the modern in a photo like this. Murray.

Good picture, I like the contrast and the color of the towers and shape, I know this is scanner that is the reason looks little out of foucs, but still you make a good job with your pictures.

Congratulations

Hola Ricardo

Woow China que envidia sana, este lugar también lo quiero conocer pero tengo que ahorrar mucho jejejeje. Excelente momento de la vida diaria de estos hombres. Me gusta el contraste del comercio tradicional con los edificios modernistas de la Hong Kong. Y gran pov.
Saludos
Sergio

Hi Ricardo,
It seems we have common tastes ... I have a similar one in my gallery taken at the port of Aberdeen :))
Nice as you combine the architecture, the boats and people, plus a very nice light.
Sylvie

Ola Ricardo, I was curious to see your look on China and although some more recent posted photos seemed more beautiful, I was attracted by this one as it shows so contrasting, even conflicting views of nowadays China : very interesting and an excellent viewpoint,
Bravo !
Cath.

Ricardo,
Uma belíssima fotografia escondidade no seu album. A composição, alternando elementos modernos e antigos, são altamente contrastantes e interessantes. Beleza de trabalho.
