funny capture. An interesting subject... the grain from the mobile phone adds to the mood

Hi, Yuo,

This is a fantastic photo. An incredibly artistic, perfectly timed and composed documentary shot. Really something to be proud of. And you took it with your mobile phone????!!!! Amazing. Brilliant. I'm sorry more people haven't noticed this.

Best,
-Hugh

hello yuo

darned good mobile phone shot... from one side, i dislike that we see your subject only half way. from the other side, i find those 3 umbrellas fascinating. it must be raining a lot in japan in march :)

regards,
kristaps

Hi Yuo,

I've been looking at your photographs, and I find that you're a wonderful thoughtful photographer, almost all your photographs tell a story. It is not always easy to narrate a story with photographs alone.

In this photograph you've managed to do that (tell a story) very effectively, even though you took this shot from a mobile phone.
