Just a play on words, hopefully it doesn't get blasted for being a closeup vs. a macro.

I'm happy this did ok because i thought it would get kicked around mercilessly. I wasn't planning on entering this one but for some reason the title popped into my head the afternoon of the submission deadline. I decided to take a trip down to the chinatown open market to get something that fit the title. I was fortunate this one vendor was still open and that this lady was bartering with the owner. Some quick processing and this is the outcome.

Among my top three picks for its whimsy as well as its remarkable, unexpected beauty. There's a lot more to relish here than just the very clever titular reference. Please accept an Order of the Thumb, and thanks for all the fish.
In my investigation of street macro I found that there were two appropriate ways to shoot this genre. This is a great example of one of the ways. Focusing on a close up abject in the foreground of a street scene. Great execution. Gritty and edgy processing adds to the street vibe here!
