Photographer's Note
Hong Kong, the ultimate playground for advertisement afficionados (well, Japan looks even better from what I saw from Skorj's pics...).
You simply have to hang out at one tram terminal station and wait for them to pass, in five minutes you can get at least two or three rewarding pics.
For this one I initially noticed the huge fish that looked weird on the side of a double decker tram...then I saw that the two school kids inside wore the same T-shirt as the fisherman... I couldn't ask for more...The boy was happy I photo'ed him...

Good shot. Very sharp. Yes the fish is good, but I really like this shade of red with the white Chinese characters on it. Well seen.

I like the hard colours, hard shapes and lines formed by the characters and windows...then that fish! Almost surreal.

I am downloading something and your picture is coming slowly, slowly.... And that's good, just to read the comment, see the fish head.
Then you have this guy appearing and the 2 kids in yellow shirt. It's a great shot. A favorite.
The Chinese calligraphy adds a nice touch to it.

the way you framed the scene is very good, very careful, very professional ;-) did you crop it or it is exactly like you captured it..?
the scene is good too, the big fish is great, the kid looking at you is cool. colors? interesting red and yellows, nice.
the whole scene looks like a poster, I like it.

Very well framed and beautiful colors. And the fish and fisher really gives a strange effect. Well seen!

Surreal, contrasting scales and colors, expressions and framing makes it interesting. I tried cropping it even closer with my hands and its way funnier.

Here, it seems to not be the story of Moby Dick. Not Jonas story. The story of a child. Beautiful.

This is a relly good picture. Your perfect framing creates a realy nice effect here. I can't point out what it is exactly but i like it. It may be that the children in a way blend in with the comercial of the tram due to that they also have yellow t-shirts. Are they or are they not part of the painting on the tram.

Hi Luko.
Excellent graphism for this urban shot and also excellent composition.
Very well done and excellent timming with the boy, the window and the fish (and fisherman).
Regards.
