girl in the crowd - 群衆の中の少女

This is interesting photograph.
Thanks! :)

こういうふうに，後姿をさりげなくとらえた写真，とても好きです．
自分で撮ると，だいなしなのですが・・・

Love it!Focusing is perfect and she stands out amazingly well.Now THIS is a GREAT GREAT GREAT SHOT!

I really like how the woman stands out from the crowd. The movement also comes across as rather smooth. The shadows add additional interest. Very nice, Tetsu!

Another example of good observation by you and exploiting the light, Tetsu.
But, for all those guys, there must be something real interesting out of shot to the right . . lol . .

I wonder what made her catch your eye? ;o)

I don't mind this shot from behind ;)

She is in her own space and not going in the same direction as the rest of the crowd. She even seems to be in her own light. This is good.

Thanks Takashi, Azhar, Ella, AG, Micki, David and Keith!!
Though I am not a christian, this shot reminds me Exodus. She seemed to divide people. :-p

りんぱぱさん、ありがとうございます！！
彼女の後ろ姿からモーゼの出エジプトを連想してしまって、思わずシャッターを切ってしまいました。

hehe.. it seems that they opened the way just for her :)
I like the composition :)

Thanks Bruno!!
She might have charisma. :-P

beautiful!!
and the girl too! :)
regards

Thanks Miguel!!

nice story telling in this photo...

Thank you for you positive comments regarding my site, first time visit to yours for me. This is a great capture, it has so many meanings from the simple to the complex, excellent.

Thanks 56x56 and Shooter!!

Nice shot...great timing to get the girl while there was a break in the crowd. It almost looks like people were intentionally leaving her a buffer.

Thanks Adam!!

love how your eyes are immediately drawn to her in such a busy scene. great composition. i especially love that she is the only one walking in this direction - very interesting.

aaahhhh. another lovely shot from you Tetsu.
Once again you have shown your skill at managing complexity in a scene :D

Thanks Loriss and Deji77!!
She showed her own identity in the crowd. :-)

very well caught :)

Thanks SnowScan!!!

Now she stands out in a crowd. Nice shot.

Thanks Brian!!

Tetsu! Congrats on getting runner up on the 2006 photobloggies. Well deserved.

Great photo as always :)

Later,
Drew

Thanks Drew!!
I am glad to be chosen as runner up. :-)

I like this one too.You captured her in a way that she takes all my atention. She is walkin in a direcction that no one is walking! Great composition. I think you like Cartier Bresson!

Thanks Andres!!
Wow!! Bresson is my most favorite photographer!!

Funny how despite the crowd, this girl is really standing out in the picture...
It kind of reminds me of "The girl in Red" in the Matrix ;-)

Thanks Ingrid!!
Umm. I have not seen 'Matrix'...

i just remember an old Bad Religion song called *Against the Grain* when i see this image.
motion in the crowd - but she keeps cool.
shadows are great too...simply perfect.

Thanks Saxi!!

I love this Tetsu - perfect composition and lighting - did you do any post processing?

For me this shot really captures the feeling of being in Shibuya at it's most crowded. Sometimes you can slide through the hordes of people effortlessly and othertimes it's like fighting your way through treacle. This girl seems to have found the secret though.

I also agree with AG - there must be something pretty amazing to the right of this shot :-)

Thanks Andy!!
I am always swallowed in a crowd when I walk this cross. :-)
I do not do any post processing.
