 I took this on a sidestreet in the dodgy part of Tokyo called Kabuki-cho. I really liked the feeling this image portrays. the dirt, loneliness perhaps, and suffocating city.

A big thanks to everyone who commented. You confirmed my gut feeling of posting this one!

Fabulous imagery - nice abstract nature to the composition - very artsy, it'll do horribly here, of course! << 7 >>

an ugly way of looking at the world, but an authoritative and convincing way, and a beautiful sort of ugliness. 10

Breaks a lot of rules and works really well because of it.

Nice juxtaposition between smartly dressed man and what appears to be a rather dingy street. Some may not like the fact that he is oof but for me it helps bring the two different aspects together

Works well in B&W

Hmm, out of focus, or the canted angle alone may have been better, but both together I think are a little too much. I do not dislike this, but i can;t give it a better than average score

not a fan of the angle. seems like a bad snapshot from the hip.

Interesting perspective but a bit dark.

You're probably going to get decked a bit for the camera angle and motion blur in this photo, but I think they lend something to the grit of the scene.

I really like the angle and composition...but it's really oof.

the tilt, tight crop, blur and "grain" make this kinda spooky looking

I like the blur and crazy angles here, it's refreshing.

Looks unintentionally blurry. If the wall had better lines and textures which made for a better composition, you may have pulled this off. Man's face is too dark.

A little too soft and dark.

This could have been great with a little more editing as theres a wide tonal range here. Shame. 5.

Very arty but a little dark.

I really like the feel of this shot. I also really think a good candid needs to show some emotion in the subject. The subject here has no detail. almost a sillouette. Again, really like the shot and the feel, but feel that for the challenge it would be nice to see more detail in the subject.
