Maybe feather the vignette a little (specially the lower right corner), but very nice. Can you pull some more detail from the floor? #3 Sorry but I don't really see any story here. Re #2: Tsk, tsk, tsk.

Thanks for your comments. #1 there was just a sidewalk w/ people walking on it. Mu Eugene wrote in post #9902647 Re #2: Tsk, tsk, tsk.  It's not a floor, but it's a rock garden with raked gravel from the famous Ryoanji Temple Sekitei.I agree completely that a little more detail of the gravel pattern would be nice, and also agree 100% about the mood: it's reminiscent of some old photographs of Japan from the turn of the previous century. If you feel so inclined, you can purposefully stain, dogear, smudge and scratch the photo (digitally or physically) to make it look authentic. #3: Perhaps composing with more of the tofu store with its awning signage and storefront in the frame would have more effectively provided the 'clash of culture' shot I presume you were looking for. Thanks for your comments as well. I really don't know how to stain, dogear, smudge and scratch the photo. I'm still trying to learn photoshop techniques. cheehoo wrote in post #9903161 really enjoy #2... would love to see it bigger to take in all the details!

You can tell a good photograph when it keeps you wanting for more... such as more to the right of #1 flickr
