Buildings in Hong Kong

A very high standard as usual, Tim.
Reflections in the first are great and I see on of the Lippo towers in the reflections, right?
BoC is my favourite building (unless they have built one that I like even more since 07) in Hong Kong, especially at night. The IFC night shot doesn't look shabby either, though. I guess that some might say there is too much of empty black but I do like that.
Pedder street view has nice toning, I do see some halos around the buildings, though.
BoC building looks cool from every angle, this one being no exception.
Through a window IFC is a good idea well executed.
Love them all but I think the first one gets my vote. I think the contrast between the warm golden and cold blue reflections is what draws me to it.
I'm ready to see more! And somehow I got the feeling I will.

Good stuff. The first is my favourite, the reflection reminds me of one of those Easter Island heads, a bit. The only one I'm not sure of is the compo of the second, not sure about all the negative space - I think I've seen this building before on a misty night?

Tim, the first stands out amongst the rest, it's a great photo. You've demonstrated here a good 'eye' for this sort of thing. The reflected building reminds me of a 'totem'. The image could do with some slightly brightening up though. I have had a go, and the colours look really vibrant.
With respect, the others strike me as a little commonplace.
