Yep, it was battle ! I have been twice before but this year the crowds are exceptionally large .... and fanatical !!I'm glad I can sit at home and look at your photos rather than be in that melee. As pretty as the girls are, the crowd would be a living hell to me. I have zero interest in cars as well!

Graffiti is rarely seen in Shanghai, or in China, however the government gave one road over to urban art and it's fun to stroll around this locale given over to art.

That looks a lot better but maybe it's cropped just a little too close to the bird on the right hand side? I think it would be better with the bird bang on a third. Likewise the other picture could do with a bit more space on the left, if the crop removed some of that?
Everything AG said.That looks a lot better but maybe it's cropped just a little too close to the bird on the right hand side? I think it would be better with the bird bang on a third. Likewise the other picture could do with a bit more space on the left, if the crop removed some of that?

Thanks Yves !
I appreciate you commenting K10D. Yes, a couple are soft - probably about 1/2 were shot at f2.8 as in all cases I was trying to get isolation, however if you got close you were jostled (I tried but it really bugged me !), stand well back (as I did in many cases - maybe 10-15m back) and it became easier to get a decent shot - if there weren't so many people between you.
This link will give you an idea of the chaos in front of the top car models ! link
I took around 500 shots that day and have culled them down to maybe 300 - still too many shots to PP extensively unless they are for actual publication (they are not) so I just used a pre-set for most of these. Not one has had any noise reduction.
Most have had just a little sharpening (eyes, mouth) as for portraits I prefer them just a little softer and not to show all the spots & pimples (guess the girls do too )
I didn't use the high ISO as all were taken with flash.
Nice job on #20 BTW !
