    Wow, what an excellent collection. The colours are really crisp and there's not a hint of haze in the landscapes, I'm surprised.

    Cheers

    The ones I like the most are 2-11-14-15.

    What make me like 2 is a very small detail, the red spot near the top of the picture.

    Great shots, reminds me of my last visit, wonderful city.

    I really like the bicycle shot, the rust colours and the perfect compostition makes it so appealing. The underpass with the couple walking is also a great shot.

    Nice!!


    Joel.

    Excellent series...and simply but nicely framed.

    Do you have a photoshop action for this frame?

    Everytime I see pictures of China, I heave a deep sigh of regret. "Why oh why I did'nt go there when I was in Hong Kong?"

    Thanks for the picture tour. You've captured some wonderful images.

    Thank you again everybody for your more than kind comments.

    Bohdan, I do have an action for the frame, I could e-mail but really it's so easy:

    Duplicate layers
    Reset swatches
    Select background layer
    Increase canvas size .5" in each side relative
    Reverse swatches
    Increase canvas size .5" in each side relative
    Select top layer
    Add stroke, drop shadow
    Export (Save to web - folder: Autosaved Photos)
    Close

    I also have added a watermark in the past or a signature, but I find that this simple frame does well for my photos.
