Photographer’s Note

Business man visits Asakusa temple in their suits. The man in the middle peobably was on business phone. The old guy on the left stood there doing nothing but staring at me had a sort of charactor. His face made me think of his life.

Terrific, brilliant - you got the fous right here, colors really shine, and the faces...pricelss! Man, what a country we live in Lauryn, you know what I mean (gomen...)
One of your best, perhaps your best shot ever.
Well done,
Francis

Lauryn,
I have to agree with Francis here. This is top top stuff. Love the red, the three characters, the whole frame rocks. Really great street photography.

Cheers
Peter

At least he has more expression than the zombied businesman. Great catch Lauryn, so well composed with the three diangonal across the frame

Three kind of faces, someone's got the wrong suit : guess who? *(check end of the post for the solution).
These three characters are so isolated in their environment, that they would each look like a collage. But let's see now who doesn't belong to the scene...

* solution : the centre guy, ties with flower patterns are outdated.

Hi Lauryn,
The first guy is what catches my attention here. An old Popeye character wearing a Enyce shirt. The middleman wearing that horrible tie cracks me up, and then the normal suit wearing guy on the right ending it all. I wonder about this mans life too.
Regards,
Brian

Cool!
The old guy in the funky t-shirt contrasting against the suited chaps works well. It is a great freeze of a second, and lots to look into and ask questions (e.g about the old guys life as you mentioned). Like it!

- You came to Tokyo! Hope you had fun.

Hellow, Lauryn.

Realy interesting composition : three faces but not in the same level...and all three are watching you : I think is good thing to caught people glances.
I like the person in the left who emerges in the red background.

Best regards from Paris.

Hi Lauryn,
I'm happy to discover today this terrific shot.
The 3 men are perfectly positioned in the picture and their expression are priceless.
Very good how you isolate these men on a such crowded place.

a special gallery,life..just beautiful!and like these 'ten words' about you,especially 'alone wolf' who have 'opened minds' and is a 'satirist'.ya.
well,i stopped here.'diagonal of faces'
every one with another story.probably,these two in the left are the most expressive,but..the whole scene 'talk'.
thanks and take care!

One of the best pictures in your gallery, Lauryn (If not the best ?)...

Sure - it can be just one of these lucky shots, but...
You'll have no such luck if you don't cross your city up and down, constantly shooting, and hunting, and watching and snuffing...

Keep running, gal.
camera in front - always...

all the best

great, surprising, clear, sharp. i don't have much bad to say about this image, except perhaps i would have cropped a little bit tighter top and right. but lovely, nevertheless.
