I think you captured the grim, yet busy overtone of the typical white collar workforce of Japan very well in this shot. It's very clean and beautiful, yet also very quiet and lonely looking. Like the feeling one would really have even when being surrounded by thousands of people. Pressing and pushing past each other, Feeling secure, yet lifeless. The figure stands out as the "light" in the shot even though she is in silhouette. It's a nice touch. The texture of the glass gives the shot great balance and rhythm too.

Overall I give it 4 out of 5 stars. It's an amazing shot. e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s… " width="15" height="15" alt="" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="391" title=" (Smile)"/>

Thank you very much for your critique! I can see what you find interesting in the photo. The lonely figure is a locus for our thoughts on what it's like to be one of many in massive city. She sort of embodies that feeling of loneliness and solitude despite being in the midst of civilization.

Exactly. You placed the figure so well in a place that might normally be traffic ridden I imagine at the right time of day.

It kind of looks like you have a shot of the "Dentsu" building in the bg. I could be wrong though.

burningmonk In reply to Shinseinasenshi [2014-11-25 09:26:01 +0000 UTC]

Very good guess but actually the Dentsu building is just out of frame to the right. It's a smoother all glass tower.

She was fluent with kanji and not even native.

If you have read anything about me....Β  even if just my d.a. profile, you might have guessed. ^^
I don't expect everyone to. It's ok.

The character in the photo reminded me of her.
