Incongruity and juxtaposition at their best. You're mastering it very well.

Oh my. That's fantastic. Huge vote.

An ironic iconic image, Kal -- doubly incongruous, and rich in its Chinese context. The pictures of the live animals juxtaposed with their dangling skinned bodies can be seen as humorous, tragic, or just as a cultural oddity, depending upon our own divergent cultural and epicurean points of view. (It would make a wonderful poster promoting a vegetarian life style.)

Funny but sad at the same time,sad.
I love your title!

It's always good to remember what we are eating and how it looked like.
To me it looks very good! Also I love the piece of fish,
Shame there isn't a pic of it, I just can't remember how it looked like. :)
Great capture and very funny one! Kim.

Throughout Asia I have seen parts of animals in the windows ready for eating... but there is something strangely pathetic (in the true sense of the word) when photos of them are there side by side.

Memento Mori
.
Life is short and shortly it will end
Death comes quicker than you think
It takes everything away, but takes pity on no one
We hasten towards death, we shall restrain from sinning

"Meta-photo of the First Kind", that's the exact formula ;-)

Kal, that could be defined a "meta-photo" ;-)
