Finally reached the River Hongbao about 1 am, after most of the crowd had cleared. Took quite a few shots from the hip. Most of them turned out lousy.
I thought about this shot (as Jed suggested) to show how the ticket or token sellers are caged in to prevent snatch thefts. The ticket booths are scattered all over, and the women sitting inside looked literally like caged animals. They all eyed my camera apprehensively as I approached (cannot escape, what), so I had no heart to take their pictures from the front.
For this shot (I took a few), the AF focused on the grill instead of the woman, as I had originally intended. But I like the effect, so I've chosen this one.
I like this one....even without the caption or description...the photo alone tells a story.
Well done on this shot.
