Cotton Candy over Hong Kong - a photo on Flickriver

            Thank you everyone for visiting, commenting and fav'ing - very much appreciated!

I took this photo last summer when approaching Hong Kong before sunset. Hong Kong island is below, Kowloon is in the back.

I was surprised on how much detail I could bring out of a fairly bland out-of-camera photo using some HDR post-processing. Although it looks monochrome, I did not reduce the color saturation. I like the 3D look of this photo, and how the clouds form a circle.

HDR, 1 exposure, NEX-6. DSC05987_hdr1crea1
