Photographer’s Note
This geisha was going about her business in this subway exit tunnel sometime very late at night. I just shot the pic, but later I thought it can symbolize the dichotomy between modernity and traditional ways in Japan. I added a blueish, steely tint to emphasize the cold sterility of this passage.

the perspective is so good, like pulling me deep into the tunnel... and the geisha is like travelling in time indeed... coming from the past and hitch hiking for the future... a real good job christian, congrats...

Hello Cristian,
I like this photograph by his composition.
I like also the bringing together between the geisha and his thousand-year-old tradition and this subway of the 21st century.
The B&W is a good choice.

Hi Cristian,
Fantastic perspective here - everything is very well placed. The lines and lights with their repetition really draw the eye in. It looks very futuristic courtesy of the steely sterile tint, which works very well.
Nice work! And thanks for sharing. Casper

Hi Cristian,
The blue tone has worked well to give a colf feeling to the shot and th econtrast between the modern subway and the geisha is well captured. Great perspective looking down the tunnel and nice reflections in the floor and ceiling.

Hi Christian,This photo certainly works ,one can not fail but to look upon it with amazement,for me its a fairley minimalist image ,apart from the human touch of the almost silhouetted figure of the geisha.Thanks Tom.

Nicely composed with nice use of light and details. The silouette like person, the details and sharpness look nice.
