Photographer’s Note
The Chinese name for it is 扯鈴 which translates to "pull the bell", but most people just call it a Chinese Yoyo.
This was taken today in Dajia at part of the Matsu Pilgrimage. Before the Matsu deity comes back through Dajia (after a 300km Pilgrimage through central Taiwan), there is a big chaotic parade of firecrackers, gangsters, ktv, dragon dances, and much more.
I used Luko's great sharpening technique.

Hi Leslie
The grand yoyo competition..... You got the action captured with great color. I preferred the performer to get into one group for that shot. But it will not be possible because it's a street celebration.
Well done.
