A really nice set and it looks like a fantastic set the only think that I've noticed is that #2 is in need of some CW rotation

Thanks all for you kind comments

Nice pics, hope you enjoyed the stairs to get up the the 10000 buddha temple!

Funny you should mention that. When I found the place, I noticed 2 entrances. The right hand side one looked like it lead to a car park, through the left one I saw a shrine so headed for that. As you obviously know, that side of the site has the billion (yes I counted them, honest ) steps up to the top, which I proceeded to trudge up. What would have been useful information at the time was that the escalator to the top (out of site from my side), starts off from the base of the car park :bonk::bonk::bonk:

Really like the first and last shots.
HK is one of the places I would love to visit one day and, when I do, I will be delighted to take some photos as good as yours.

All good pics there, but that last one really stands out! Very nice.

Great pics!
They are all so crisp, clear and the colours are perfect!
How do you achieve such great results?

Also, what lens did you use for pics 1 and 2?
