@Photography by Nate Lam: Thanks, Nate!
Nice one mate. The strength of the contrast and tone brings the image into its most basic form: the lone man and his disposition. A nice portrait that's bleak yet involving and shot very well.

@Chris Sullivan: Thanks Chris! I wondered if it was too bleak to post actually.
こんにちは、Stuさん。 He looks a little tired. But a little comical too. I think this image is exactly "Japan Through A Lens". Nice take Stu-san!

@Craiger: Thanks, Craiger!
This man seems to be lost in its thoughts... This feeling is enforced by the blurry background! A beautiful work!

Ecxelent B&W photo and moment!

@Paulo Oliveira: Many thanks, Paulo!
You've captured his mood brilliantly. What an expression, what a posture. I can see him taking a deep breath as he moves off.

@Carol: Thanks, Carol!
Thought provoking image. I wonder what he's looking at and more importantly what he's thinking about. Nice shot with the 200mm mate...can't see any camera shake on the man at all!!

@Damon Schreiber: Thanks, Damon!
ce portrait est magnifique et, je ne sais pas très bien pourquoi, je trouve que c'est un peu triste.

@H.O: ありがとう、ひろさん!
Great photo, Stu. Contrast is perfect. He looks so pathetic.

@Kate: Thanks, Kate! He does, doesn't he!
It really looks like he's having a moment there. I love his sneakers. And I like the effect that sets him off from the background. I thought, at first, that the bridge-like shape in the back was a traditional style bridge. The blur out makes it look ornate, for some reason, instead of industrial.

@Evelyn: Thanks, Evelyn! He does look a little 'distracted'.
This is perfect for B&W, excellent contrasting tones. He does seem a rather lonely figure there and the background just adds to the atmosphere.

@Michael: Thanks, Michael. I've been keeping this one and wasn't too keen on posting it as I thought it was too bleak.
Like the way this turned out. Wonder what is going through his mind. It has a terribly sad, forlorn but evocative quality about it. A very good capture indeed.

It feels like there is such a burden on his shoulders, a heavy life.

Wonderful. Nice B&W shot. Great capture!
