Luck of the Draw by Benjamin Lee
Captured in March 2009 at the Tin Hau Temple in Kowloon, this image highlights the striking contrast between the frenetic energy of Nathan Road and the serene, vibrant atmosphere of a traditional Chinese place of worship. The photographer focused on the intricate details of burning joss sticks, utilizing the temple's signature palette of deep reds and yellows to create a sense of spiritual stillness. This photograph is award-worthy for its ability to isolate a moment of quiet contemplation amidst the relentless hustle of Hong Kong, demonstrating a keen eye for finding profound beauty in the city's hidden, sacred corners.

Beautiful image, it is “chicking” for me to see the used ISO and the perfection of the photograph… This is maybe because I’m still learning and don’t know how to control that hehehe… Congrats!
