A penny for your thoughts

Sidonie from Sydney, Australia

You've got great skill in foregrounding a person (upper body, head usually) in high focus and bringing a lot of the background in as a blur which gives context, and meaning to your theme - and for us, a general insight into Japanese culture. Look forward to the next in this series ...

Really great composition mate. Your DoF is also very good, the poster in the background is just out of focus but still has some detail to let us know. Nice work
