A few good scenes there.  I would use a medium format for a couple of them.

No, i mean the picture quality as it is right now doesn't really make the best of the scene. I would like to see more dynamic range.

Hmmmm, would making the color more saturated help?

I like how the color looks a bit pale but it's lacking the kind of vibrancy or life that I would love to see.  Like, the picture doesn't jump at you, if you know what I mean.

I think "microcontrast" is the word? I am not too fluent with the technical terms. I just look at photos.

Traveling is not enough for me anymore. Even though I travel 7 times a year, each time is too short.

I prefer your street stuff.

Seriously, if you want to shoot landscape, there are 50,000 people out there shooting the same scene with equipments that are 25 times more expensive than yours. So why even bother.

攝影藝術創作相信主要靠眼，主觀觀察和思維。嗜好主要是自娛，最重要自我感覺良好。

I doubt anyone would feel bad when they take a picture. Otherwise they wouldn't do it. What I said is just my personal approach to photography. I don't like taking shots that someone else could just repeat easily the next day with much better result.

Some more words on equipment.  Equipment is irrelevant IF you have your personal style and vision that no one can copy or imitate.  When you are at that level, you can use a toy camera and it doesn't matter.  Now, however, if you want to take a photo that "looks good" but is taken at the same angle with the same approach as 5000 other people, then equipment is all the difference there is because nobody can tell who the photographer is.
