A really good b & w! I really like the contrast here! But, this doesn't look like the Ginza I know. Is this the Ginza district in Tokyo? Maybe it's been too long since I've been there.

@Craiger: Thanks Craiger! I suppose I did take a little bit of licence with the title - I spent the evening wandering around the area between Ginza, Tokyo and Yurakucho stations. This is probably closer to Yurakucho, and certainly doesn't look like the more upmarket side of Ginza, you're right ..

Very nice shot...lovely contrast, but mostly I love the story here. Wonderful work.

Thats pretty much about perfect John. Love the processing, compostion and the fact you can just make out those three shadowy figures at the end of the alley. The main subject looks hesitant, he's not in his stride but static, it adds a great sense of drama to the piece.

@Duncan Galbraith: Cheers Duncan, and welcome back!
