Three for tango, a photo from Tokyo, Kanto

Photographer's Note

Every thing has to go perfect in Japan... Trains run on time...People do what they are adviced to the book & everything has its place, every time, every day...
What is the fun when life goes on in a pre-configured way?...
But still the situations some time present themself in a humourous light.
Here are the security men, trying yo ensure no body enters the shopping are just about to be closed, when this lady pops up suddenly, without realising it is about to close.
A tango indeed, in this dilema. :))

One more in the theme with shailendra...
The situation was so funny I just clicked without thinking of sharpness much. Pleas let me know the ways I can make the monochrome better.

Hello Prem.
I like the moment. The guards reflecting each other is a fine part of this composition. I also think it is ok to have movement shown by the woman because you have other fixed and sharp aspects to the photo. One thing about the blur, it looks like a shake as opposed to the movement of the woman from left to right. What I mean is, the blur is a halo around her features, I think you would have a better result if the blur trails the figure to show direction. I do like the choice of B&W...I'vwe got alot to learn about it, but maybe more contrast...a little less midtones...I don't know. Anyway, I wanted to give you some feedback. Hope it helps. Nice composition.
Regards,
Chris.

Suxh nice timing, Prem, this humorous dance thing unusual from you but delightful. The BW treatment could do with a bit more contrast, deeper blacks, but I l,ike the picture very much.
best,
Francis

Hi Prem,

I'm not the great fan of BW, but you composition is very well, with the focus on the guards, maybe the next in colour Prem! Two points for effort.

Have a nice weekend,
John

Hello Prem,
The body language of the two men in uniform and the lady tells of a story (explained through your note). Well composed...nice contrast of sharpness with blur. I like the B/W as it is.
