PP: EV compensation, levels, curves, slight sharpening

They are really great pics. I reckon you've captured the moment very successfully. The candid portraits are just sensational, composition brilliant, i've run out of superlatives.

Very well done. Thanks for inspiring us.

Hilop,
You've done a marvellous job to capture the spirit of Chinese NY, colourful, great compose and lastly your efforts.
I used to do to Chinatown each chinese NY in the past but not anymore, they have same thing every year.
I have to shoot the Chinese NYE at the temple on Tuesday 8/2 with our Viet's culture and dragon dance same as fireworks at midnight will be long day for me.

Great shots. Wish they had something like this in Newcastle. You've really captured the colour and spectacle of this incredibly well. It's almost like I was there. I think the candids really round this out nicely. I particularly like ChineseNY-21.jpg where the exprssion on the faces of the two girls shows just how much fun they're having.

Thanks guys! Glad to hear you like it

Also, I'd like to thank genij, who shared link with frames I used for this gallery
