I love the composition in Number #3 :thumbs:. there's something about that "Square on" approach that I find really interesting in photos.

Good pics btw, especially number 3.

Hong Kong Queen's Pier, the traditional landing point for visiting dignitaries including Queen Elizabeth II and Princess Diana, has been occupied since April, 2007 by activists trying to stop it being destroyed for a new bypass under the terms of the Central Reclamation Phase III works contract.
