Thanks, Jack! And here I thought I was starting to repeat myself. Took this while grocery shopping with a bit of a migraine on the go. Last thing I really wanted to do was look through the viewfinder.
I have to second Jackass's comments. Your execution is spot-on. It has captured the difference in textures from smooth granite to cobbled wall to hard steel speeding train...
Thanks for your comments, gents. I'm not used to getting regular feedback on my pics.
Well, jheu, I might take everybody on a stroll through the strip in Roppongi some day this month. Though I'm not sure flash photography will be overly welcome among the (usually Nigerian) hustlers and their "sisters" (usually Filipina).
