    Very nice composition on this photo. I like how the building provides a nice frame for the station. I also really like the lighting on this, very nice contrast. The person in the center kinda ruins the form of the photo.
    I guess I don't like the distance of the individual or the position, and would have rather seen this photo with no one in it.
    Still a very minor nit pick because the composition and framing is so great.
    Nice job.
    Cheers.

    Glad to see your back, yoyo. I was missing your wonderful photos. As usual I can't say anything about any of your work, other than nice job.

    Yoyo,

    Looks like you had a good holiday.

    I really like this photo and the addition of the person is inspired as it gives the whole picture something to compare space wise.

    You seem to have these architectual photos nailed.

    Lovely photo yoyo,

    i too like the person in the shot, gives a perspective to it, also makes it quite lonely.......

    .....the vertical distortion should detract from this type of photo, but it doesn't here, as the composition is spot on.

    congrats on a great pic, and the b+w suits the theme sooooooooooo well.

    cheers
    anew.

    Re: Appreciation

    Hi PT, Thanks for the comment and telling me your view on the shot. The person was intentionally included to show the appreciation of the building through her eyes.

    Hi payn, Thanks a lot for your kind words as always.

    Hi Roger, Thanks for the kind words. I did enjoy the holiday a lot. It was my first time in Japan; I vividly felt the cultural difference and a lot of which are very inspiring.

    Hi anew, Thanks for the analysis and kind words.

    lovely shot yoyo. I also like the addition of the "puny human" to add a sense of scale. Only thing is that I wish the human was on the escalator going up!! That way, they would've been part of the shot but not so central.
