Stop!! Don't push!!!

While waiting in line to take the elevator up to the observation deck of the Shanghai Tower (the tallest building in China), there was a photographer taking photos of everyone in front of a green board (a board that allows any background to be put behind the subject). Even though I rarely allow my photograph to be taken there wasn't much choice in this situation, so I turned my back to the photographer and he snapped this photo when his assistant told me to turn around and I twisted around and put up my hand (my camera is in my other hand). When I saw the photo after the trip down from the observation deck, I thought it looked like I was trying to prevent someone from pushing me off the observations deck to the ground 500 meters below, hence the caption.
