Nice 'people shot', full of interest and the tonal quality is as usual superb. I would have thought there would be some opportunity for some close up 'portraite' style shots here too.

No, no! Keith. They were FAR too fierce for close-up portraits. They didn't seem to mind group shots, but looked very unhappy if I got close, as I would have to do with my very wide-angle lenses. This is an argument for a telephoto lens, of course! My friend Mr. Matsukawa will be uploading some very good ones (we went together). You should look at his photos to see a different "take" of Japan! Search for Koichi Matsukawa.

Interesting photo, Roger. The Swastika I knew about so it does not upset me. The light was harsh creating the extreme contrasts, the B&W version is a good choice in thecase of trying to achive authenthicy look. I left a comment at my photo for you. Regards, Rob.

Again..most informative...good use of b/w as well...makes for a more old world look...well done... =)) Just so you know...in Idaho we have a huge population of white aryan racist that use the swastika as a symbol... shows how truely ignorant they are.... but Idaho is full of racisim and hatred.... sad to say in this day and age but oh so true.

looks good in BW rog and I agree your range of tones are better than the one I sent up. I always seem a bit heavy with the darks...maybe this is a little too sharp on the edges..I think I would of tried the contrast sharpening or your compression is too much. Anyhow I think it looks good and the subject is appealing...rog

Thanks for checking this one out. It's one of my own favourites... so I'm glad you like it.
I have been in Japan for over 38 years! (I am thinking of settling down permanently. [GRIN])
