Nice composition with good texture and color.

I agree with Beamer. Beautiful piece of art.

Terrific work. The colors and form go so well together; and it has that Asian flair which I love so much. Simple but beautiful. If I were creating this image for print, I would lose the border and, of course, your watermark/name. Otherwise the image is perfect. Nice job!

Good work!

I agree with the others. Maybe if you would transcribe your name into Japanese characters (Katakana)? That way you would have both the effect of Asian text and your name in the picture.
You could www.takase.com/Library/Glossary.htm#KATAKANA for this.
Lovely picture.

thanks for all your comments

Cool photo. I'm still trying to work out what you've done here!

well done!
(I would like to see this view reduced to the reflection!)

Very nice. After reading the comments and looking again, I agree that it would be stronger with the building in focus.

Interesting perspective

Wonderful shot!

Great b&w. Just stunning!

Excellent!

wow.. its perfect!

This photo should be featured. I believe it will soon.

My gut reaction to this photo was very positive. I get a feeling of being "stuck" inside, longing for the outside. Upon looking a little longer, I'm wondering about how reversing the focus to the outside scene would change the overall feeling...but I'm not sure it would be for the better...

I like the dof and choice of focus here. My complaint is that the image is a bit dark, and the lettering on the window sort of gets lost in the surrounding tones. I'm not really sure how you could have prevented that though. Perhaps using a slightly lower angle?

Definately the image could be lighter and the lettering my eye seems to get stuck on.

The low key of this image is nice, but it doesn't make the letters stand out. I personally do like the focus on the letters, which makes a nice distinction between inside and outside.

Lighten up the dark end of the image. My eyes got stuck trying to read the sign because the detail was lost in the dark.

Nice work. This image is very haunting and reflective. The many layers make one stop and think; and question the meanings behind it.

Thanks Anna and Ron. I appreciate the feedback.

Oh man, she looks sweet! Adorable, really :) It can be minimalistic because of the relative small space she takes in this picture, though you could have strongened the effect by adding some white space on the left and on top (just open a new document in photoshop which is bigger than the picture, copy/paste end blur the spots that doesn't fit the white). But I love the picture the way it is now :)

Thanks Soyrosa. That's a good thought. I could set it to a neutral since around her isn't blown out either. Thanks!

It's a beautiful portrait of your niece. Nothing to be critical of from my point of view. Nice work Jason!

Exelent!

He looks like he has been partying all night. Lol.

This wonderful guy lives at our summer ranch in Colorado. It's kind of a long story, but my wife and I found him while hiking on one of the back trails. He was just a baby... sickly and almost dead. We nursed him back to health over many months. After he was healthy enough we drove him far away in our beat-up old Jeep and set him free. Amazingly, he was able to find us again and to this day he never goes very far away from our property. We decided to name him Leland.

Actually, everything I just said is a complete fabrication. None of it is true. We have no ranch, no Jeep, and I'm pretty sure my wife and I have never even gone hiking together. The true story is much less interesting, so I'll spare you the details.

Sometimes it's fun not to know things, because you get to make up whatever you want!

I am making this a favorite.
Not only is this a wonderful photograph, but the story is entertaining too. ;)

Nice colors, subject and vintaging. The main problem with this photo is lapse of white on the head and back of the goat!

BTW, You have made a great site... it is pitty that there isn't a lot of photographers!

Overall I really like this image. The human form is a strong element in any image, and in this one I find my eye is drawn to the escalator where the people are and doesn't want to leave. I have to force myself to look at the other half of the image, and then I question why it is there. The stairs do not seem to add anything to the overall image and are more of a distraction for me. I think I would have been inclined to crop them out.

Looking at the main part of the image, the lighting is really terrific and helps give the image a kind of gritty, graphical quality that I really enjoy. I like the range of tones and the colours, especially in the metal railings. Good choice for the theme too.

I like the exposure very much. The man appears to be framed by the hood above. Great composition.

I would like to see a 4x5 crop version (landscape of course).

wow this i love this picture. it seems almost like a...stationary dance. really nice eye

Very nice picture.
I really like the muted colors all around other than the human element.
Lighting is wonderful!

un bel éclairage et un cadrage au poil! la tête coupée ajoute l'élément discordant que j'aime bien dans les photos. Je cours voir ton site par curiosité

Amazing pic...Extracting history out of the wall!
One of the best I've seen!!!

Like a fine vintage wine...old and of a particularly high quality. so lovely!

Beautiful... I love that decayed look.

ouai .. c'est du tout bon

Wonderful textures and details, very sharp !

George, seen this before, but glad to see it again. I love the quality of light, and the softness is really perfect!

This is spectacular George!!!
