mood of the night...

Feeling warm in a cold winter night...:-)
Connaught Road Central, Hong Kong
I do not regard myself as a photographer. I'm just an ordinary man who enjoys capturing all the memorable scenes that I encounter in my everyday life. Perhaps, it's like a traveller hoping to record his memorable journey, but in my case, it's the journey of my life ... If I can record my encounters in such a way that they leave an image on the mind of myself and other viewers, it's a tremendous joy and some accomplishment...
In terms of photography, I'm trying to preserve the moments as my eyes see "something" and my heart feels it too. As such, I seldom feel interested in planned, arranged or manipulated photographs...

I think I know that girl - her name's Sheila or Stella or something . . how did she get there ?!

Indeed, a warm smile for the cold night :^) I like your choice of subject, a terrific juxtaposition of foreground and background elements.

Perfect ! The magnificent city lights are just background, but a smile, no matter who she is, means much more than that...the composition is really great !

Cool shot Hugo, and I do like the use of DOF. The bokeh of the lights on the highway are such a good lead in to the sharpness of the bridge. Well done and very creative.

I'm usually not in favor of tilted photos, but here it works great and adds to the street feeling. Good photo!!

That's because of that wonderful red smile. I love your shot here with the use of the dof and the single focus of the smiling image. Great!
