Qu Yuan Statue, Rice Dumpling Festival


Qu Yuan is an ancient Chinese hero, linked to the Rice Dumpling Festival. Long story ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duanwu_Festival ).

This is a temporary statue, only set up for the duration of the festival, for tourists. It's near the Albert Complex and Fu Lu Shou Complex. That's a HDB (government public housing) apartment block in the background. They're everywhere.  
  • D7000, 35mm f1.8
  • At 35mm, f4.8, ISO 400, 1/90 seconds
  • Aperture priority exposure, center-weighted metering, auto white balance
  • Picasa: Crop, auto contrast
It might have been better to open up the aperture and blur out the background.
