Photographer's Note
A couple from China at the facade of St Paul's Church in Macau.
China is getting richer and richer and that's why tourists from the Mainland China are everywhere, some of them are very fashionable as you can see here. They mostly travel with big groups, often all groups wear red or yellow baseball caps. If they don't wear caps they have small stickers on their clothes.

Funny photo! There can be something not quite right about mainland fashion ;)
You captured their expressions very well.

Hi Maciek. We have a lot of mainland tourists here in Thailand too. This picture is funny and the "surprised" look of the woman is catching. Also, the way they occupy your frame is balanced in an unbalanced way - which is a plus. Though far from your best shots, this picture does tell a lot of stories.

A perfect composition for a snapshot, Maciek.
The triangle - formed by the yellow, head of the man and brown bag - starting in the lower left corner, ballanced by the "heavy" part of the background ending in the upper right one.
Very well seen and done.

Interesting picture, the note is helpful too - we're all getting around the world more these days, for better and worse. This shot is well framed and timed, she doesn't look too happy to have her photo taken! He looks as though he's taking it all in like a good tourist.

The woman looks like she may be coming to ask why you photographed her, or maybe she is just fixing her hair and hasn`t seen you. The guy looks so cool. An interesting little look at the changing world.

Gawd, more overdressed, out of place Asian tourists clearly NOT having a good time. More of the locals here need to learn to relax and enjoy themselves. I especially suits and shiny black shoes on the beach!
Funny capture.

Good shot, Maciek. The woman looks like she's preparing herself for the shot, and you got her in the middle. Her husband enjoys the sun and the view. I like both expressions, and I like their natural poses. Well done.

I know what you mean and it is very well seen in your photo. The men his face is cool and superior, his(?) wife is worrying about her looks.
Yep what you are saying.
Great picture.

Hi Maciej
I am just browsing pictures from Macau, and yours come up a lot:)
I like the sharp and colorful style in your pictures, and also the very close people shots that you take.
