Hi,
I just moved to Singapore a few days ago and this happened to be one of the first threads I browsed in this forum. I think your photos, especially the street portraits, are really really impressive and very inspiring.
Having walked along Orchard Road during my first few days in Singapore, I think I can say, with an open and unbiased mind, that your photos really capture the spirit and nature of the place, and the myriad of people of who frequent it. I really like some of the candids where you've captured bored commuters in contrast to those of excited shoppers. The impression I get from your photos is exactly the same as my first impression of Orchard Road, and for me at least, therein lies the appeal of this thread of work.
I haven't summoned up the courage the ask a random person for permission to take a picture of him or her yet, but looking at your successful efforts, I think will give it a go.
Hope to see more of your work and apologies to other forum users if my comments above are rather generic and similar to those before. I was just really struck by these photos and felt compelled to voice my appreciation !

Hey there, very good stuff I'd say. you've come a long way, improving since the first post. Definitely a lot of similarities to D. Santos' work but its all good, we all get inspired by others, copy a lil here and there before creating our own styles. All the best with developing your own style in the near future and I'll be looking forward to that! 
thanks lchoong

but its not impossible
