Here in Korea it is the beginning of the Lunar New Year. It is a time when everyone makes trips to their family to pay respects and worship ancestors. Many people purchase large boxes of fruit and brings these to the home they are visiting. Traditionally, gifts are wrapped in a wrapping cloth called bo-ja-gi. I am going to be away for a few days travelling. This is part of a set of the same subject taken from different perspectives and with different crops. I would be interested to hear your opinions on the choices. Thank you.
Happy Lunar New Year to you all.

I think I liked yesterday's one more, the balance of black and the pink, but if I'd seen this alone, I would have been perfectly content!

The composition and cropping is more attractive on this one, in my opinion. Love the contrast between the hands and the cloth!

@Manuela Photography: Thank you for the comment. I am still torn between the choices. I like the close cropped composition here, but I also think the bigger context of the previous shot works... I am torn between the two
Very interesting composition. I really like the contrast of the hands and the fabric...

definitely this one, the softness of the fabric is so lovely against the stark lines of the black sleeves and the unkempt hands. very striking

The first word that popped into my head when I saw this shot was "hope." I've thought about it, and don't really know why, but I thought I would share anyway. Wonderful photograph Aidan!

@Joe: Thank you for sharing. It is possible to read different emotions into these hands - this is one of the reasons I find this project so stimulating for me. Thank you.
