Rat Race
Ikebukuro, Tokyo. The morning rush across the street from the train station and metro. Everyone jostling for space. I think it shows how hectic life can be in an Asian metropolis.
Today was my first try at using long exposures, and I felt that this was the best of the bunch from today. Any constructive criticism is welcome. I took this close-by to my home.

Really love the way you’ve captured this street image. the diagonal lines works well and you’ve given it a great sense of movement with the blur. well captured Melanie

Great work! Reminds me of why we chose to step out of the rat-race. Very nice useof angles and lines, hard and soft ones. BW is perfect for it.
