Where is this? Also the black and white works great with this photo, Very good contrast.

Thanks. It is in Nara, Japan. It is the Todaiji, once the largest wooden structure in the world. You can see the Great Buddah within through the window over the door.

She is BEAUTIFUL! So innocent! And those eyes! Excellent!

Very beautiful...I like a lot, perhaps a square format is better (a détail) Thank you for sharing.

Sooo beautiful... one of my favourite in this particular topic, undoubtedly. Congratulations, Craig.

This reminds me when I was a kid, and my grandpa did the old "pull my finger" fart trick. :)

Good photo with great detail.

Great photo!

Thanks Philippe.

I love these old buildings with the side ripped off...the remnants of other rooms still imprinted.
Great find.

The duck is a great touch...I've met many ghost ducks in my time...
and it was really nice of Abe to sit still for you that long. He's a good man.

Thanks everyone for the comments! (Though, KidJim, believe it or not he was only smoking a cigarette - to smell it, you have to go here:

Cheers.

Thanks Craig :)
Great buzz !

Excellent shot !!

Stunning portrait !!

Excellent one!

I love this contrast between the traditional outfit and these trendy looks... Very nice processing, too.

Thanks Philippe!

Very nice Craig. I think that a hair more space on the left would have helped as it feels a bit tight but that is a personal preference for me.

Thanks - I agree about the lower corner, but it wasn't just a crop. There was something there if I recall.

Lovely work on this one, Craig. Superb in nearly every way imaginable.

Cheers,
Jon
