Chinese New Year

Took a couple of shots of the first day of celebrations of the Chinese New Year in Chinatown, NYC. I like how these turned out but would like to know other people's take on them, how could I am improved on them?

#2 is great, captures the feel well. With the first, I think it could have benefitted from a little more scene awareness - the heads are chopped off and you've really got a bit too much empty space in the frame. Nice and sharp though, well exposed.

No 2 :thumbup: :thumbsup:

Looks very Chinatown to me.
Makes me more and more excited with my upcoming (first ever!) trip to New York at the beginning of April!!!

LOL, you guys reply quick, don't you have work to do or something?! Heehee. Thanks everyone. #2 is my favourite too, although I thought maybe it was a little overexposed top left? Glad you like 'em, thanks for commenting.

LaFoto: Chinatown is like nothing you've ever experienced before. Expect to get lost and completely confused because it's like a little warren there, but really lovely place to wander around aimlessly for hours.

We've only got 4 days :shock:
I think we can only take in a minute fraction of what there is to be seen in New York!
