About This is my second trip to Hong Kong this month, and this time, I arrived with the sunrise.

I am staying on Hong Kong Island this time. My view from the hotel is not as panoramic as the last, however, the second I walked into this new hotel room on the 47th floor, i was greeted with the rising sun. I could not drop my luggage fast enough as I went for my camera. Shoving the lens against the glass of the hotel room, I rolled off 30 pics as the sun started to break through the clouds. This image being the only one with the cloud break centered.

The sister building to the hotel where I am staying on the right of frame, and the harbor on the left.

This image captured at 6:55am at ISO200, facing due east. Jetlag has me awake every day so far at that time, and no view can compare to this image.

Sorry that i've not been on the site to comment on all the amazing images that are showing up from my friends. Work has me pretty busy. I look forward to my down time, when I can relax with everyones' new works of art, and comment away!

I wanted to toss this image online, as it marks my second journey to this fantastic place.

cheers,
-Joel

Fabulous moody shot!! The sun 'bursting' through the clouds is wonderful as are the tones, great reflections and view... well captured!! Good composition... but I would've cropped (you know I love to... ;-D)... not to get the 'eye in the sky' more off-centre, but to get rid of the 'cluttered' rooftop on the left... Thrown in an attachment so you can see what I mean...

Hi Joel, Some spectacular lighting effect here; An amazing sight, but IMO, there's too much peripheral distractions around. The golden glow over the horizon, and the almost divine rays of light behind the sky scraper are spectacular... Would qualify for an extreme portrait format, removing the pheripherals. It would emphasise the magnificent light. Per attached the crop I have in mind, maybe a bit extreme, but I think it works wnicely; I also took the liberty of creating a rather bold frame around it; one could argue it's excessive, but I feel it does justice to the dramatic sky without becoming too intrusive... Curious what you think... (Can't imagine your wife arguing the same thing this time...:))

Found the felix bar?

Cheers,

Hugo

Wow! I took one look at this image and was instantly transported back to HK...I could almost feel the humidity and unforgettably exotic aromas...

Fantastic shot, Joel, marvelous atmosphere and lighting!
