Photographer’s Note
There are the stalls on both side of the street and people walked inbetween them.
Actually I didn't aim on this perspective. When I draw my plan in the frames, it doesn't work out just like it, but when I blankly release the shutter then it unexpectedly captures something unique.
Taken in Asakusa.

Hi Lauryn
Nice pov with the women on either side. You captured some interesting expressions, especially the woman walking towards you. Good b&w conversion and lead lines. Well done.

Hiya Lauryn. I have often been to Asakusa and am quite familiar with this area, and you managed a very nice and spontaneous feel in this take as a result of the way in which the two female heads are framing the tunnel perspective. Good choice with the b&w; I have the feeling that you could tune up the contrast a little more. Greetings from Tokyo.

Hi Lauryn, nice perspective here, like how you caught the two women's faces at different angles. The narrowness of this street is captured well by having these two people on the sides of the frame.

Lauryn,
Nice black and white shot. The conversion needs a little work there is too much white and deep black but not enough in between. The composition is excellent with those strong leading lines taking you deeper into the frame.
Cheers
Peter

Hi Lauryn, this is a beautiful picture, a white BW that i do like a lot, yes something we have luck and something that we hadn't predicted occurs when pressing the shutter. When i read you i understand this was the case here and the way in way out of those 2 persons in foreground is really interesting .. i wonder if the person on the right is a tourist, if yes it's even better ...
The perspective in itself is excellent so the overall picture is excellent
