Chinese Lantern Fesitval, C&C appreciated.

[julianliu]

Just went to a Chinese Lantern Festival and shoot some pictures. I did lots of PS to clean up the background and adjust the images. One of my friends love them, the other one said they are too bright. I personally like the vivid color and brightness. I did increase the color and clarity a bunch in PS. What do you think about the post processing? Advice about the shooting welcome too. Thanks!

I agree, I like the well saturated colors and brightness. Nice shots.

Love the colors!

Thanks. I got the comments from a friend who is supposed to be a photographer and he said it's too bright and too colorful. I do not see the problem that's why I posted here and so far no body complains about it here. So I planned to lower the brightness and desaturated the color a little bit, but I guess I just ignore his opinion then.

They're nice enough, but you've got some serious cloning issues in #13...

I noticed that, it seems not obvious on my screen, but it's more obvious on my iPhone. Thanks for reminding, I will fix that before I show to anybody else.
