And do the Hootcy-Cootchy? Lovely capture, muted, not so much blurred as softened.

@Sylvia: thanks sylvia! hope you have a good New Years eve!
love these kind of street shots stu...and the softness adds a certain mood like nostalgia here. i'd like to see the figures a little bit closer but it's cool nonetheless. have a great new year!

@jc: thanks jc. don't drink too much Guinness mate!
Mate! This is an excellent shot and the post processing is spot on. Really good use of blur and also the tones are just right. I actually like how the alley leads you down to the people at the end. Well done mate.

@Still: thanks Still. Have a great New Year mate.
Hmmm... I love the evocative "old Japan" feeling, but I have misgivings about the Koto/こと sign on the left. For me it detracts from the mood since it seems modern but has no clear purpose (an ad? a signpost?) I'd crop it, but that's just me. Anyway, carry on with the hokey-cokey.

@Damon Schreiber: thanks damon. yeah, you're right about the sign. i should have thought about that before applying the sepia tone and going for that "old Japan" feeling. it made the sign rather out of place.
Nice !

@H.O: ありがとうございます ひろさん!
I like your street scenes. I hope to see more of them here. I agree with the above comment about the sign - It seems distracting.

@Aidan: thanks aidan. yeah i agree with you and damon about the sign. should have cropped it or not gone for the heavy sepia tone. have a great 2007 in Korea mate!
