  I´m glad you´re back ! , Japan is plenty of this kind of places , I also love the atmosphere , this one looks more like a paint than a photo! , I don´t know if that is good or bad , but I like it and it really shows the mood.
  Keep it up mate!

  Love the gritty processing and rich colors. Just wish I could read all the Kanji.

  A most interesting image and the title is intriguing to me because I don't know what it means. Love all the colors and your processing is exceptional. Good to see another great shot:-)

  Glad to see you back! This dark alley with the bright signs does look like a scene you would see in the Blade Runner movie!

  Great o ahve you back, love the desolate feel of this image.

  I think this place must be overwhelmed during day by hundreds of people. Like the grainy effect made by the lights.

  Another beautiful night shot.

  Makes me want to slip into one of those places and have a cold beer and snack.

  Great image, really looks like a movie scene! Welcome back, did you manage to have some holyday?

• manolo // 2008-08-15 19:50:31

  Great atmosphere. It seems like if any thing could happen soon.

  This is really good! So many interesting details... Low light photography is definitely your style!

• Liv // 2008-08-15 21:12:46

  fantastic shot, ruben! I actually live under a train station and see this kind of thing all the time ... the drawback is i have no natural light in my apartment. but at least it's a fascinating expanse ...

  This is strange. Maybe its the noise reduction or something but its almost kind of cartoony and surreal. Very cool! Great title too.

• Radel // 2008-08-16 00:35:13

  Love the dreamy processing and the use of light all around. Beautiful image.

• Claus Petersen // 2008-08-16 04:23:28

  I love these streets, they seem so cramped! and small a bit claustrophobic!

• John Maslowski // 2008-08-16 04:47:47

  Excellent composition, love the exposure in this night time shot. You captured the atmosphere here perfectly.

• ben // 2008-08-16 06:11:38

  Have you visit one of those small bars in there? They must be so good. This kind of photo make me a little homesick.
  
  One thing I noticed is that little bit of LE noise (which adding some character, BTW). Have you try bumping up ISO a little like 400-640 range?

• cako // 2008-08-16 10:05:46

  Excellent street shot of this "abandoned" street

• Lee // 2008-08-16 22:50:53

  This has more of a painterly effect than you usual work. I really like it though.

• Sean // 2008-08-17 06:05:22

  Cool shot. Were you on the hunt for replicants? So many nooks and alcoves for them to hide in. Better watch your back.

• Ruben - Enfokme // 2008-08-17 08:00:28

  Fantastic, i like ver much the light and the depth in the photo.Bye

• Sue // 2008-08-19 03:23:36

  wow...lost in translation i would say ;o)

• Alejandra // 2008-08-19 09:43:58

  Great and nice scene! Love the dof, the colors and the processing. beautiful and interesting shot!

• Rian // 2008-08-19 12:45:02

  ..and very deserted too.. a very different perspective of what i think japan looks like.. nice one.. :)

• Oswegan // 2008-08-20 13:02:22

  before i saw the title i said that looks like a scene from blade runner.

• michigan seo // 2008-08-21 05:47:32

  Where is the chaos of town? i think that is what makes this image so unsettling.
