Thanks!! I love Nighthawks and I often have it mind when I'm out shooting. I actually do have a shot of this spot with a reverse of roles: tokyostreet.photo/post/1457808…

She looks unreal comparing to this blurry people behind the window

She seems completely within her element. Nice comp!

Another great capture! I love many of your photographs.
I was going to say that the only thing I don't like is the man's face (because it's distracting), but as I wrote that, I realized that I like it better your way. I imagine lines when looking at a picture and I follow those lines over and over again. And I love the dynamics in this one. First the girl and then him and his gaze that points off-screen. Then I re-read the image from her and I'm in a loop!
Anyway, great photo!
Cheers!

Yeah, I'm torn about the background too. I think it could be more... perfect. Like if there were some more people also looking out of the window like that it could better. Anyway, thanks!

Really good. Did you have to lighten her face or is her phone doing it?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thanks! It's all the phone. I probably did bring up the shadows a bit when editing the raw, but I never do local adjustments like brightening a face or something.

I've only just realized that this is a photograph. I've been staring at this beauty for two days, thinking all the way that it's a photomanipulation of some sort, so bright, colorful and somewhat surreal it is! What a capture of reality! Well done!

Indeed it is! I like that you perceive an otherworldly and surreal look to it.

Is this in Shibuya, near Hachiko? It looks really familiar!
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
That is correct! Right in front of the Starbucks actually.

The tags certainly say that it is.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
So they do! I thought the purpose of tags was to help people doing searches for categories of things. Do you read them? I've never made a habit of doing so, but perhaps I should.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
The purpose is that, indeed, which is why they're so helpful. A good artist puts more into tags than is immediately obvious from the picture, just for the chance that someone might be looking for this minor detail. For example, have you been looking for the parts of Tokyo for whatever reason - research, artistic inspiration, visual mapbuilding for your imagination - #tokyo and the tags for the parts of the city would extremely helpful to you.

I like this composition all in blue and yellow.
The people behind the glass looks like they are in another world.

Thank you!! Glad it works as you say!

Very nice! I really like how crisp and centralized the girl is, but the glass behind gives an almost filtered effect like a mild fog filter I want to say? Helps push her and the isolation forward which is nice.
Also there are some reflections in the glass from the other buildings, but they are very subtle which I like. A really good layout.

Thanks! I like this scene for the reasons you mentioned. It's just usually very crowded so this was a nice moment to capture there. I only wish the people in the background were a tad more interesting still.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hmmm...making next time could try getting a couple friends to dress up or something and run in to make the background more interesting? 
Really nicely done regardless.

Yeah... maybe, haha. Thanks!

Thanks! I wish it was even sharper though. I've done better.

Nice sharpness contrast. Lucky she had the phone on full brightness XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah that is exactly what caught my attention in the first place.

is it just me or does the guy on her left look like hes just seen the bat signal!
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
Haha, he certainly saw something!
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
No He's just remembered he forgot to take turn off the oven. XD
