red is the (lucky) colour Photo

Photographer’s Note

This photo was taken whilst walking through the Forbidden City in beijing. The temperature was well into the 30's and the humidity was high. Stopping to take in some more ice cold water, i noticed this man standing to my right, gazing into the distance. A rare sight in the people packed city, where you are lucky to find a quiet spot to stop and take in the grandeur of the surroundings.

I think the red imperial gates in the background add intensity to the atmosphere of the image in contrast with the seemingly laid-back straw-hated man.
