Street Photography Osaka: Shinsaibashi
Posted by Daryl Johnson (Farnham, United Kingdom) on 1 February 2009 in Documentary & Street and Portfolio.
The 3-day Street Photography theme was organised by Damon Schreiber: http://electro.aminus3.com/
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!
Nataly from Santa Monica, United States
Great street shot! Very well composed and the woman`s silhouette is almost detached from the seen.

@Nataly: Cheers Nataly!
bluechameleon from Vancouver, Canada
I think this depth of field is fantastic. The silhouette of the woman is such great contrast and so perfectly still against all the activity just beyond her. Excellent shot and tones.

@bluechameleon: Thanks bc!
Paco Díaz from Palma de Mallorca, Spain
You took the picture from the right angle. The silhouette of the woman against the zone of maximun ligth enhances her posing and at the same time puts her apart of the rest of the people. Waiting lonely in the midst of the crowd. Very good.

Splendid B&W, precis with blacks and white of all beauties. This character in the first-plan on standby with all this movement around it is very well seen Bravo ;)

Damon Schreiber from Toronto, Canada
Careful - she's got a knife! Or at least that's what people would have thought 20 years ago before the cell-phone-pose became so commonplace. Great dynamic scene!
1 Feb 2009 3:09pm
@Damon Schreiber: Cheers Damon! Yes, she is looking a bit threatening there I suppose...!
R.J.Dee from Ettlingen, Germany
The silhouette seems to have been cut with a pair of scissors - great !
