Luck of the Draw by Benjamin Lee
Captured in March 2009, this evocative image focuses on the glowing joss sticks within the Tin Hau Temple, a serene sanctuary tucked away from the relentless energy of Hong Kong’s Nathan Road. The photographer masterfully contrasts the vibrant, iconic reds and yellows of the temple interior against the surrounding urban chaos. By isolating the intricate details of the incense, the image highlights the quiet spirituality that persists amidst the city's hustle. This photograph is award-worthy for its ability to distill a moment of profound stillness and cultural depth from one of the world's most densely populated environments.

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!
