The Shop Keeper

During a great downpour at Meiji Shrine, I watched this young woman cross the distance between the main worship building and her stand where she and other women sold temple wares. Edited in Nik Efex Color. Feels like a painting to me. I have another photo of the same girl--it's my favorite photo of my entire trip in Japan (I have many favorites actually). You can see my best version of my other photo in Flickr: https://flic.kr/p/CN5kQj

Wow, how did I miss this, big fav! If I could fav it more than once I would, if I could hang it on my wall I would. Have not looked at the other shot yet, but love the painterly feel to this. Great work!
