[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Taking a break from posting winter pictures from Illinois, USA, let me share a photo I took of this intricately hand-painted Chinese Doll being sold [for around US$30] during the Art Festival at Super Brand Mall in Pudong, Shanghai, People's Republic of China. This is the same mall where you find top European and American fashion brands. It is located right across Shangrila hotel and within the same perimeter as the famous Oriental TV Tower that overlooks the Bund.

Shopping tip: Buying this from such store is easily 50% more expensive. In street shops, you can get them for roughly 5-7 USD each :)

Note: I cropped the photo then spotlighted the upper torso of the doll to highlight its most colorful and expressive portion.

Hi Josh,
I think the highlighting really makes this photo, forming an effective frame round the doll.
regards, Simon
