Hi, a really nice shot, the natural framing works well. Regards, Jean

Potentially very beautiful shot. Congratulations for such a good POV. Actually, this photo is one of the shots I wish to take. I love that blur background & the palms framed the photo very well. As you mentioned the colours are not manipulated & need some correction. It seems that your cammera's flash fired but not worked perfectly (didn't produce nice lights on the palms leaves). So I decided to do a workshop on your photo. I hope you don't mind & like it.

I love your shot very much & wish to see more from you.
Yours, Sohail.

Potentially a great photo AnaMarija. A few comments though.

First of all, great POV, very original. Extremely original actually, considering the amount of Hong Kong cityscape photos posted from the top of the peak. Your low point of view is very different as most people just want to get up that trail from Old Peak Road.

The vivid colors, in my opinion, aren't due to the high humidity but more to the exposure point being the foliage in the foreground and not the building or city in the background. Without some sort of double exposure or grad filters this shot was doomed from the start...to me the best exposure would to be on the buildings thus creating a silhouette type effect with the leaves framing the city. I'm not trying to put down the photo at all but for next time...spot focus on the building for the correct exposure than either take a photo like this and combine during PP for the correct exposure across the photo or try to just silhouette the foliage.

A very original shot.
Smiley for trying...more than most do.
