The composition and detail is amazing. I didn't even notice the person until the second time I looked at it! Initially, I was admiring highly detailed stones in some kind of floor, until I saw the person, which completely altered my perspective. Great work!

Thanks Jon-Michael!
I did not notice that stones looked like a stone pavement floor until you told me...

I like the geometrical composition of this shot. The man walking makes it more interesting. Great shot.

Thanks Tom!

Exactly the same thing happened to me as it did to Jon-Michael. Excellent composition. Is that your shadow on the right?

> tetsu said : Jan 12, 2006 20:00

Thanks Gavin!
It isn't my shadow. It's a stain, I guess. I used wide lens, so I stood at least 10m off.

Thanks Jxiong and Shabnam!
Everyone may think this wall a stone pavement floor. Did you think so?

Tomozさん、L-kenさん、ありがとうございます!
皆さん、道路だと思うようですね。写真を撮った本人は全くそう思っていませんでした...

L-kenさん、リンクは大歓迎です。僕もリンクを貼らせて頂きました。よろしくお願いします!

Great composition. I love the shapes and textures.

> Michael Brown said : Jan 13, 2006 10:19

It is the consistant range of lighting and tones that you achieve that keeps me coming back to view them.
The overall composition is wonderful.
It has a nice detailed, bold feel to it, and somewhat contrasty look, ... I like it!

> tetsu said : Jan 13, 2006 11:13

Thanks Eric, Tasos, Mark and Michael!
I waited someone walking beside the wall. Person in the frame adds a falvor to the photo, I think.

Photos in overseas were taken about 5 years ago. I have traveled 11 months from Tokyo to Germany at that time and I have been Jardan, Greece or other countries during the trip.

L-kenさん、よろしくお願いします!

seems to be a common occurrence with this photo- we look at it and think it is a close-up of cobblestones and then, upon second glance, notice the person. very unique image!

> tobias said : Jan 13, 2006 17:55

Wow, you certainly have your own style Tetsu. This is magnificent. The detail is amazing, all those cracks are really well captured. The person adds that human element. You are getting more and more comments these days and quite rightly so!

> tetsu said : Jan 14, 2006 01:33

Thanks Pei and Tobias!
I always try to take an unique image.
Thanks to you and all people who comment, Visitors are increasing these days as tobias said.

> solaria said : Jan 14, 2006 23:06

The stones have a nice texture and feel to them.
The man on the lower left hand side gives a good perspective to the sheer scope of the wall.
This is really nice.

> tetsu said : Jan 14, 2006 23:51

Thanks Solaria!

> Apurv said : Jan 15, 2006 20:00

The big rock-bricks look fascinating. You've managed to get a lot of detail too.

> tetsu said : Jan 15, 2006 22:56

Thanks Apurv!

> Christopher Bowers said : Jan 21, 2006 01:13

Wow, what a great shot. The contrast is perfect.

> tetsu said : Jan 21, 2006 01:17

Thanks Christopher!

> casey Niederhauser said : Jan 21, 2006 13:48

Yes! I am so glad there is a person in there for perspective.

> tetsu said : Jan 21, 2006 15:30

Thanks Casey!

> jeremy said : Feb 12, 2006 21:04

Lots of wonderful photographs. The black and whites are beautiful, simple and elegant. This one particularly struck me.
