  You have to wonder how old grandma is ... 38? It's nice to see it's not just us here in the US with those problems.
  
  Cool shot though ... bringing out social issues in your photoblog - very nice!

  Here in Australia, the trendy spunky mums like these are called yummy mummies! I like how you took the shot from the daughter's eye level and how the rail frames the sea nicely.

  Here in Argentina we have the same problems ...the young mothers leaves the school...and so on :(
  Love your shot! I like your point of view and the nice processing!

  Shall I continue telling that here in Brazil we face the same problems, but with a lot of differences in relation to Japan if we look at the effects in time.
  
  Anyway, the composition is good. I especially like the young mother and child about to leave the frame.

  I agree with Jonas, its a great composition and the fact that they are leaving instead of entering the frame adds to the overall effect.

  Another up-close angle that puts the viewer right in the scene with the subjects. The fact that they are walking out of the frame gives the shot some mystery. Nice.

  Nice shot. Shes a milf!

  Typiquement Japonaise ! I love

  j'adore cet angle de vue! superbe photo

  Nice Shot. She looks really young.

• Santiago Beguería // 2008-05-13 17:06:26

  Very nice framing (dynamic), and interesting angle of view.
  
  I don't understand all the stories about the young mum though, I just see a young lady with a little girl. I don't if that's her mum or not, how old is she, etc. Keep guessing...

• Ruben - ReallyJapan // 2008-05-13 17:13:35

  Yeah, I can confirm you she's a young mum.. but actually there aren't many young mums like that in Japan, let's say is an exception, especially if you consider that Japan has the lowest birthrate in the world and declining population..

• yiannis krikis // 2008-05-13 23:00:29

  nice framing and colors

• Marco André Fernandes Marques // 2008-05-14 06:28:15

  Thanks for your comments. Nice mommy!

• Sean // 2008-05-14 10:14:57

  Looks like another case of kids having kids.

• Oeilonirique // 2008-05-15 15:04:05

  like the way you have framed, cut slightly the head of the woman and abruptly the body of the child. Very modern walking snap

• WasabiNoise // 2008-05-16 03:21:09

  you have a lot of cool shots... I will save a bookmark :D

• eric // 2008-05-17 05:42:15

  what's the deal with her face and the shadow range? it looks like really bad gamut clipping!

• Ruben - ReallyJapan // 2008-05-17 12:32:43

  Hi Eric, thanks for visiting and posting your comment.
  Yeah, there was a big spot on the lens just there, and it messed up a little the post processing..
  
  By the way, next time you can write your email and web address.. there's no need to post anonymously (your comment is the only one I've received with no email or web address).. as I said I'm pretty new to photography, and critics are really, really, welcome. I'd like to check your photoblog and to learn from that too.
  
  Ruben

  I said it before, and I will say it again, you have a great eye for street photos. The square frame crop works really well here.

• shannon dolen // 2008-06-06 18:44:56

  how old are you ? Is it hard to look after a kidata young age?

• Lorne Campbell // 2008-12-08 16:50:00

  I have never been to Japan, therefore all I know is from movies, she looks so cool, love the colour and the feeling of leaving.
