Daily Deviation

Given 2008-11-17
Energize by ~Supergrass1975 will make you dizzy with its perspective. But the soft glow of the city is so magical and enticing that it'll make you just jump off and and spread your wings to fly. Brilliant work. ( Featured by `Katerina423 )

Engerized without significant color. I like the idea here, especially while using Hong Kong as the city. This piece definately deserved the Daily Deviation is got.

The technique in the zoom beautifully defines Hong Kong from Victoria Peak, and even gives us a very indepth view of Kowloon. The lack of color makes up for the lack originality, which I'm sad to saw we've seen the base picture of Hong Kong from Victoria Peak quite alot. But, none the less, you did take an exquisite picture.

I also like how, in the top corners, it makes it look like a still from a movie with the fade effect.

Great job overall and keep up the good work, *Supergrass1975

i never noticed the harbor is so beautiful, properly because i usually only see a mist of thick fog covering the whole scene. the damn air pollution.

Hi, how can I download original? I need a good HQ photo (as much megapixels as possible) to print on my wardrobe. It will be there for the whole life, so I must be very discriminating . Thanks in advance.

I most definitely want this piece in my home.

Preferably for the guest room, because of the quiet, slightly mysterious feel of the image.

I agree with the critique by =KahunaSniper. The whole image is quiet, a little serene, but also energetic. Knowing that it is not only a big city, but also Hong Kong, gives you the exact impression of this city preparing to burst into life with the morning.

Amazing job.
