Beautiful picture! Very artistic!
Lee says
Thank you! Wasn’t sure I’d got it at the time, so very pleased with the way it came out.
Denton says
Cool shot not so cool habit! 😉
Lee says
Cheers. It’s certainly interesting to watch how attitudes to smoking are changing in Japan. Or at least the restrictions on smoking.

Okay, okay! I’ll spill the beans. I’ll tell you everything. Where I was Thursday night at eleven PM. Just stop staring at me like that, and please put that ciggie out, cuz y’know, second hand smoke…
LOL
Very Noir. Great stuff, nice capture. I can only imagine he was standing on the border of sunlight and the darkness of an underpass tunnel. Love how he’s pushed his mask down for his nicotine fix.
Lee says
Haha!
Cheers. Very happy the way it worked out. He was skulking in the shadows of an otherwise beautifully lit side street. And yeah, the pushed down mask is a detail I liked too.
