Macau streets, in mono

A few shots from a night in Macau last week. Macau is a sleepy little ex-Portuguese colony 30 miles down the coast from Hong Kong which has always been a popular weekend destination for the Portuguese flavour and knackered old casinos. It has changed a lot since all the huge flashy Las Vegas casinos recently moved in. We stayed at the Venetian, which was an experience in itself

Comments or criticism would be welcome.

Soup eaters #1 for me - I really like the way you've managed to catch one of them looking down and one up. A striking image.

Soup eaters & two trolleys. However I have never understood this forums' fascination with B&W shots - there's a time and a place - and I bet Two Trolleys looks great in colour !

I'm one of those on this forum with a fascination for black and white. But as you say there's a time and place and in this case I prefer Tim's colour shots to these monos, good as they are.

Thanks for the comments folks.

Regarding black and white it's just personal preference I suppose. I happen to quite like it

Gareth I was quite taken with that pavement as well! I hung around that street for a while:

PS the written language around here is Chinese although to confuse the issue even more in this part of China people speak Cantonese.
