Photographer's Note
Yesterday I went for a walk in Tokyo. I visited an area called Harajuku where there is a famous street called Takashite Street. This is where you can see all the outrageous fashions that are paraded by the young and trendy Japanese.
These shoes are typical attire for young girls. They will instantly add around 10cm height to anyone who wears them. I heard a story that it has just been made illegal to wear them whilst driving. There have been fatal accidents where the girl wearing these shoes just couldn't reach the brake pedal to stop the car....

With your note a perfect one for TE.
Like the diagonal composition. Crossing from right to left I'm looking to the shoes; then that brown line continues in that something green, making my fantasy to work, see the crowdy street, the magazines
Well seen and composed, Dan

Nice strong colours. I like the gleam on the shoes and the soft curves. I might have cropped off the left of the photo with the other shoes. Interesting note.
