Another photo from Shuyuanmen area. The person on the left seemed to be in shock: "Oh no, he's taking a picture of me!"... :)

Note: Cropped the bottom and top parts. Enhanced colours, contrast and saturation. Adjustments made in curves.

Hello Tai, what a delightful picture here again, the colours are so warm and beautiful. The yellow, red and green is really lovely. Ant the background gets so nice and hazy. I like it very, very much. Going to put it in my 'Favorite'box.

Colourful, nice, daily scene, good perspecive with long telephoto, perfect details, well done!

An excellent daily-life and street shot. I like it because its full of life and activity, excellent composed with an excentered vanishing point. Very good colours and contrast too. The crop seems just perfect, I like the space in foreground and the advertising writings on the left. Very fine work Tai, I like it.

Wonderful photo Tai! The street looks so refreshingly different from western street scenes. Very good composition.

Good cpmpoced street life photo, excellent light - color and contrast in picture.

Sorry out on point....Regards kaj Nielsen

hi Tai, great street, if you came a bit closer to the guy with hands on his face then the picture would be much better i think, now you were a bit too far, the foreground is empty. so, use more your legs next time ;) nice, but easily could be nicer

I agree with maciek as far as the composition is concerned.

But I think that you got great "national geographic type" colours. I guess that you enhanced saturation and reduced brightness to have this result.. I like it.

very nice in daily life categoreis,Tai!
I like it,great composition & colors.

The colors are so warm and well saturared from the foreground to the background. I like the everyday street scenes such as this.

Nice picture. A pleasure to see only bikes and not cars in this amazing street.

Good life shot. I like the light very much. Also the details and clarity are very well managed considering the shade. Good POV with an uncentered view of the street and well balanced with the yellow jacket of the girl compensating the strong red of the bilboards on the left.

Great colors and nice daily life capture. And that's just great. He's like Munsch's character in the painting The Scream. I like the composition here, too, with the street leading us in a tunnel like view with the trees framing it. And then the sidewalk with the signs on the left side. And again, very nice colors. Very good work.

Very good streetscape

Again a delightful street scene, Tai. The composition is nice and has a good depth with the bicycle-occupied road leading into the background, well balanced by the colorful roadside details. You could maybe crop just a little of the "empty" foreground. Well captured, I appreciate you sharing these views that I might never see for myself.

Excellent real life picture, it must be a pleasure to walk there. I like the overall colors and the light level in this pic.

The way China is going, this will very soon be a historical picture! Very good setting.

Excellent shot. The colors are so good. This is a good capture of the street scene in Shuyuanmen. I especially like (and I will repeat it here) the COLORS.

Tai, Nice one again. The colors are striking. Some of the comments might be true, written before, but I like the empty foreground and you get a better depth view of the photo. To me, good, well done.

cool-looking treelined street, filled with the usual 2 and 3-wheelers :)
I especially like the homemade signs on the left

Good shot :)
