Tokyo dawn

This is a picture of the Onagigawa River next to my apartment building.

This picture is actually one of the scientific pictures for my MSc and is of a particularly polluted morning with the sun just below the horizon.

I cross this bridge every day to go into work, often at dawn.

Damien,

I like the lines in your picture, (the corners over the roofs on the left make one, the rails, rive bank) all converge towards the rising sun. The buildings reflect dramatically in the dark water. Excellent. If you have a passing flock of doves, that would be already too romantic but, hey, I'd add that. I think they are really there.

Since it's nearby, you go back as it's worth doing more of! One time there will be a single canoe, another time a bird. Look for these. That's how Ken got his recent pictures of Chicago. Go to post # 11 in the thread here.

Thanks for sharing.

Asher

Hi Damien,
Very nicely done!
The image's serenity masks the hustle and bustle about to explode once this great city awakens!

I lived for 4 years in Tokyo and made a series of urban landscapes images with my Graflex/Fujinon 135mm/Velvia 4x5 transparency film and I miss the light, color of sky of that city. Also the way you can go almost anywhere with public transportation and fell safe setting up a tripod and immersing your head in the focusing cloth ...

It is truly a remarkable city - in a remarkable country.

I like this image a great deal. But (don't faint, Asher!) I'd be tempted to crop a little off the left and see how it looks. I'm not sure it would improve it any but I'm curious as to the effect.

any alterations that people wish to try are more than welcome, i am becoing curious as to waht people may come up with.
