Shenzhen, a photo from Guangdong, South

Photographer's Note

Another picture of the modern China, probably the last one. Th
e picture made from the train from Guangdong to Hong Kong. I suppose that not everyone have heard about this Chinese city.
Shenzhen was a market town of 30,000 people on the route of the KowloonCanton Railway. That changed in 1979 when Shenzhen was promoted to city-status and in 1980 designated Chinas first Special Economic Zone . Now it is a major city in Guangdong Province, China and one of the four largest and wealthiest cities of China. It forms part of the Pearl River Delta megalopolis. Population of 12 millions inhabitants .

It is not specially interesting. Would you guess it is China? It could be everywhere in the world. I prefer the old towns.

Bonjour, chčre Malgo,
Je partage votre avis, j'aime mieux également les vieilles villes qui ont une histoire.
Certes, les nouvelles villes doivent tenir compte des technologies qui sont sans cesse en mouvement. Ce qui est pensé aujourd'hui est déjŕ dépassé demain !
Belle image et trčs bonne note.
Amitiés.
Philippe

Hello Malgo,
Apart from the writing on the adverts, there is nothing here to say this picture was taken in China. It is fascinating how brands like Gap have proliferated all over the world. Nevertheless, I would not say that your composition lacks interest. It is well composed with well rendered colours and very good clarity. The reflections of course are another welcome addition.

Bonjour, chčre Malgo

Nice reflections in the shiny new high rise buildings. The red shoe on the billboard at left adds the necessary warm cold color contrast. Plus you got a blue rather than white sky! Very rare in China.

Hello Malgo,
You say that this is not very interesting, but I find it more interesting than really beautiful. It is amazing than Shenzhen has grown from almost nothing to a multi million city in just a few decades. Has that kind of growth ever happened anywhere else in the world? But regarding beauty the central building of mainly glass is not bad, and of course it offers some fine reflections.
Kind regards,
Gert

Ciao Malgo,

Il suffit souvent de marcher en ville pour devenir un spécialiste des photos de reflets. Ceux-ci sont trčs beaux ainsi que le travail de post production,

Amicalement

Hello Malgo,

I like the nice reflections and green trees in foreground.
Sharpness and colours are wonderful.
Composition and presentation make your picture attractive.
Very well done, TFS

Best regards,

A cityscape picture with a reflection of the buildings behind you, Malgo.
Blue tone dominating, spotted a fairly good sight upon the façade across.
Good afternoon,
Ike

Hello Malgo,
A great modern life photo of these large shopping façades. The reflections in the glass are very appealing and nicely distorted. The light was most attractive too.

Niby takie samo jak w calym swiecie, a jednak inne, nowoczesna architektura, ale to ciekawe,ze takie duze miasto moze pozostac prawie niezauwazone, to mozliwe tylko w Chinach

mon ordi est tomber en panne, viens dętre réparer aujourdhui, ouf
belle soirée,
bisous

Hello Malgo,
as you mention in your note this could be modern city anywhere in the world,it`s just the small amount of writing that gives a clue to it`s whereabouts.
The reflections are a nice feature in a strong composition.
Warm regards Les.

Hi Malgo,i prefere old towns me too but sometimes is nice to be in places like that,the opportunities to take different,modern and geometric pics is always great. A nice capture from this big city,there are all the elements that i talk about,excellent quality as usual. Have a nice evening and thanks,Luciano

Ciekawa nowoczesna architektura , udalo sie zlapac artystyczne odbicia w szybach. Faktycznie bedac w Chinach chyba bardziej zwraca sie uwage na tradycyjne budynki I zabytki niz wspolczesne budowle.
Dobra jakosc prezentacji
Pozdrawiam
Piotr

Ciao Malgo
hai ragione, le grandi cittŕ moderne sono tutte simili, compreso le pubblicitŕ e i colori.
Con questa foto ci hai reso partecipi del tuo viaggio.
Saluti

Hello, Malgo!

A different and not so different image of China, not with the traditional Chinese architecture, but with interesting modern buildings with very nice reflections captured with excellent sharpness and colors! Very nice composition! Well done!
