New photographs from Xiamen

Hi, I just got back from China, unfortunately very little time for photography, but got a few shots to add to my series.

1. Hi Edward, good to see you went out and took pictures!
   All of them work for me, I can see them in your essay. They show a lot of the place, the people living there, the pollution, what for us viewers seems a mess, but not so for them.. a lot of small details, like the toes on the couch in the last picture.. lots to discover!

   Thanks for sharing!

3. Very nice series. Good pictures you added. Just what was missing, I think.

   Did you change the postprocessing? Much more vivd colors than I remember? For my taste too much?

   You show only the positive side, thats also what you write in the text.
   With that, when you watch the pictures, you get the feeling of a series for tourists. A series which invites to this country. I think thats ok and fine and lets me watch the series until its end.

   Great to see that you are photographing again :-)

4. Dear Dietmar,

   Thank you for taking time to comment.
   The post processing is pretty much the same, the last picture in this post is a too saturated, the version in the series is corrected. What I wrote in the text is that Xiamen changed my perception of China. In every place you don’t call home you are a tourist, but I think I am more a photographer and my decision to show a positive side is because it reflects me and my photography.
