Sparkling Love

The folks in Hong Kong seem to like the Christmas season at least as much as I do.

Now that's what I call putting on a great show. Terrific decorations, a sea of colour. The motion blur accentuated that feeling of the street 'vibe', perfectly.

We played safe this year and had everything bought and arranged by the beginning od December, so Malls and busy streets have been on the 'Uh oh, no way' list since ha ha

Cool shot

When you love strongly deeply from the bottom of your heart, you turn blurred with sparkling love - great effect, I like that a lot !

Nice capture of movement and composition. I wonder what it says about me that i read "sparring" instead of "sparkling" at first ;)

The festivals are there, the streets are decorated and people are of exit. Your perspective is excellent, and under difficult conditions, once again, you made a success of a very precise photograph with beautiful returned color ;)

This is a very colorful and appealing street scene. I like this amount of blur which accentuates the sense of activity on the street. Well done.
