The Boys

Just hangin' by the fountain at Okayama Station, y'know...taking it easy...

Although I'm now in England, this blog will still feature photos from Japan for the foreseeable future.

I apologise in advance if I'm tardy with commenting on your blogs or returning comments during the week... I will get to you though!

This is fantastic Daryl, geeze I'm missed a lot, gorgeous portrait and outstanding compo ;)

@Lorraine: Thank you Lorraine! This was quite a throwaway one I thought...

A striking image Daryl, even with the boys cropped out, what remains is a great abstract, of round water sprays, and square windows.

@Observing: Thanks Mike, yeah I was pleased with how the fountain came out.

Cool photo, love the expression of this group shot, great location.

@Richard_Irwin: Cheers Richard!

I don't know why --perhaps the expression of the guy on the right-- but I find something amusing about this one.

@Arps: Thanks Arps!

The un-posed relaxed nature of the guys is great and the background really makes it. I wonder if this would look good in B&W.

Good composition and beautiful fountain. Those guys have funny expressions :)

@akarui: Thank you akarui; got your mail!

Nice take. Their expressions are just fantastic. The angle of the shot adds to their quirkiness.
