Hi Cristian!!

Great view, I love this kind of pictures . . . and blue colour makes me think it is a cold new day. It isn´t??

Hello Cristian

Lovely monday mood behind this photo.
I'm currently in Tokyo myself and I understand how some people must feel an early Monday after a quiet weekend.
The head on composition works well for a street photo like this as I feel the traffic and the street balance each other.
I must ask however how you achieved this blue-ish effect, I find it very interesting.
Thank you for sharing.

Simple yet elegant composition, most of all I like the mood that comes out of it with that bluish tint, and the motions well rendered of the speeding cars, and all those lines and signs I can't read:-). I wonder if you could have redressed the vertical on the building on the left (I am asking because I have difficulties in doing that...:-).

TFS,
Best regards
Michèle

Bonjour Cristian
Un très joli point de vue que tu as trouvé là sur le traffic légendaire de Tokyo avec des teintes très sympas, bravo à toi!

I usually dislike toned B&Ws, but there is something captivating in this image, Cristian. I think that this blue fits so perfectly the glass buildings in the background, giving the image a cold feeling of a big city. I absolutely love the sign (letter) showing on the road, I wonder what it says...(if it's really a letter, that is).
Beautiful work!

Nice blue tone. Brilliant capture of the busy street.

Bishnu.

Hi Cristian,

How did you end up in Japan? You're posting quite some pictures lately on Japan. Always nice to see life elsewhere in this sense. I'm looking forward to move towards Asia as well one day and see how life is lived over there.

Greetings!

Hello Cristian, good city landscape. Also interesting composition and POV. Have a nice day!

Cool idea. The blueness really adds to the dreadful monotony of the 9 to 5 business life many in Tokyo are probably participating in!
