Great Color!
I love that Pomelo shot! You take amazing pictures of basically ordinary things. Great night shots! Of course all your articles are National Geographic quality in my opinion.

ohh! Miss new year. In New York, I don't feel any holiday atmosphere, especially this year, so so cool....nobody want to go out for celebration.

Hi STAN,
That pomelo shot is out of place with the redness of most of this article! Just kidding:) Seriously, fine photography as always. Everything Chinese is really colorful, from foodstuffs, to displays & designs, to art, & etc. The Chinese are really awesome with red, I wonder if there's any other culture that are heavy on red?
