Matt Cauquil from Brussels, Belgium

Very cool atmosphere in this shot !! Do you think all these offices are full of people working or they forgot to turn the light off ?

@Matt Cauquil: Yeah i guess they are full because it was only around 5 when I tool this. It get so dark in Japan so early this time of year.

Stu from Kyoto, Japan

really like the curves in this one daz, they soften the scene well. you definitely picked the right spot to snap from. the soft light from the lower windows is a nice foreground to the towers. Well composed too mate.

Like the UFO parked on the right too. Good reflections in the windows!
:D

@wanganeges: Thanks mate. Lots of money in it, it would want to be good.

Helen from Melbourne, Australia

The composition is fantastic Darren and those lights really capture the eye.

(One wonders Matt. The power consumption must be phenomenal if the lights are left on all night.)

@Helen: Thanks Helen. There are a few light bulbs in this city. No wonder the power company is one of the most profitable businesses here.

I like the deep chocolate effect.

@Shuva Brata Deb: Glad you like the colour, that was the hardest decision for me when processing the image. My next one I've gone for more of a sepia look.

MnX from PARIS, France

It's a really nice composition. The photo is really good.
I know this is more a matter of taste but I would have prefered a slightly increased contrast.

14 Dec 2006 1:38pm

@MnX: I was debating on increasing the contrast more but when I tried it it was a little to over the top but might give it another go and check it out. Thanks for the tip

Shadow Mountains from Kyoto, Japan

Great! Particularly agree with Stu on this one. The juxtaposition of the curves with the vertical lines really breaks up this shot. It's really intriguing. A lot of Shinjuku is looking well past its sell-by date to the naked eye...but this shot propels it into the future...an s/f feeling here...

14 Dec 2006 1:47pm

@Shadow Mountains: Yeah Shinjuku is looking a bit past its used by date especially in the east but to the west the buildings are all quite new.

Angry Buddha from United States

You have some spectacular night-time imagery in Tokyo.

14 Dec 2006 3:56pm

@Angry Buddha: Thanks mate. I might make my way to Tokyo tower sometime next week and get a few of it too. It looks really nice at night.

Myst from Bologna, Italy

Great night shot! Well done!

Great picture.

Martine Lapointe from Québec, Canada

Wonderful composition! The building in the front breaks the vertical lines! Bravo!

Chris Sullivan from Melbourne, Australia

Excellent series. Another nice edition; the building along the bottom of the frame is a sort of natural framing device which is pretty cool. Again, nicely composed!
