Another candid shot from the productive half-an-hour we spent at Xitang (西塘)… Not sure what the kid was trying to do. Was she trying to wash the bottle cap? Or was she trying to collect some water with her bottle?

Another shot from Huangshan… Unfortunately, the weather we experienced on our trip wasn’t exactly great for photography. Hence, the heavily post-processed shots from the place. This one was done with an Orton effect. I wanted to create a Chinese painting effect but yet with a modernistic feel to it.

From the Botanical Gardens… on a rather lacklustre day for photography. Some heavy post-processing done in Lightroom 3 to bring out the colours. I am quite happy with the sharpness on the dragonfly I managed to get with Live View manual-focusing on a tripod.
