Festive Chinese Lanterns Sweep the Sky


Crimson red lanterns deck the sky and the city for the upcoming Lunar New Year and the forthcoming Lantern Festival. I decided to get a close-up shot of the bright lanterns and fade the background to give a nice blurred look and feel to the overall imagery. Adding hints of pastel hues with white undertones perfect the contrast between the sharp, clear lanterns and the hazed sky. Take a closer look and you can also see the puzzle pieces effect.
