Golden Bauhinia


Bauhinia flower is a symbol of Hong Kong, and appears on the Flag of Hong Kong. The photograph shows the golden statue of a bauhinia flower sitting at the heart of highly-urbanized Wan Chai District in Hong Kong. It is a famous tourist spot. In the photograph, we can also see the skyscrapers in the background, as well as the night view of the urban area of Hong Kong.

The photograph was taken by myself, and appears in the articles Hong Kong, Wan Chai District, Wan Chai and Golden Bauhinia Square.

 * Oppose out of focus. Looks like it was done on a mobile phone. I'm afraid it just doesn't compete with beautiful night time images such as [[Image:Sydney_Harbour_Bridge_night.jpg|50px]] chowells 06:41, 6 April 2006 (UTC)

 * Oppose. I had a go at photographing this when I was in HK recently, and I must say it's hard (I didn't get it right either). I suppose the stark contrast between the dark sky and the bright neon lights makes it hard for your average point and click camera to get it right. But still, having the statue, which is the subject of the photo, out of focus is a major problem. enochlau (talk) 02:33, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
