Chris Sullivan from Melbourne, Australia

Very well done indeed, liking this theme you've got going here - 6 seconds has done the trick wonderfully

I preferred the organised chaos of traffic in Tokyo to the organised chaos of traffic in Kyoto. Kyoto seemed narrower and more congested somehow.

Wunderbah composition (yet again Sir Stu) here as the zooming lights off to the right are almost like a byproduct of the entire image, whose presence consists mainly of this gargantuan edifice (albeit seen here at only a fraction of its awe) of phallic grandeur that is the Kyoto Tower Hotel.

Cut and paste that last sentence for posterity as I'm unlikely to come up with anything as insightful ever again. ;)

@Sash: Thanks Sash. The Kyoto Tower really is a hideous monstrosity isn't it. That's why I left it out. Don't know how they got away with it!
