These are great Colin! I like them all but this one really puts a smile on my face.
 
This is terrific! I especially love the deep deep blacks in this. It has such a great look. All three in this series are so very very good. Maybe a bit Brett Weston, which proves he may have been master, but not THE master. All your stuff goes there boldly and UN-apologetically. The main subject, with mobile and umbrella is so Tokyo, but the background looks more like London, not the Tokyo i've been to, adding to the fascination.
 
'enthusiastic agreement w/ those above.
 
Thank you all, very kind. I have to say, as much as I'm addicted to my iPhone, mobile phones are MURDER to street photography. Just terrible...I can't say how many scenes I've seen that were just perfect except everyone is morose and has their face down in their stupid phones playing Candy Crush. When you make a point of looking around you, you really do realize how anti-social it's made everyone. Boring boring BORING and it's ruining street photography.
 
This is wonderful. We don't get enough street photography here, much less something this good. Bravo.
