Great light and colours here!
I just would like to know what "open sushi" is... something like "open software", available to the public? And what do they serve at "ladies night"? An enigmatic place... ;-)

@MadScientist: Well, I think the words are intended to be read separately, but I suspect you know that.

Great colors. I especially like your use of shadows in this photo. Well done.

@Johnnyanne: Thank you. It was the shadows that drew my interest.

Pretty well what MS said, do ladies get free sushi on Tuesday's?

Do you like sushi, Twelvebit? I love the lighting on your picture, good capture.

@Sammi: Thanks. I've never tired sushi. I think I'd be more inclined to try it in Japan than to try imitation sushi in the US.

love how you captured the light that's filtering through a tree on the building. great composition too. just the cloud on the left bothers me some, the tones are so dark it looks weird to me

@danthro: Dark? You mean the midtones? I don't recall any stacking toward the shadow end of the histogram. And there are essentially no blacks. The darkest part of the image is under the awning and I made sure to keep the detail there. What kind of computer are you using? Mac? PC? What gamma is your monitor set to? My monitor is calibrated with a Spyder Pro 2, but of course, if you're looking at a calibrated monitor, it may just be a difference in taste.

Beautiful light sprinkled across vivid colors. A wonderful image.

Like the vivid yet limited colours. Sushi and 'modern dance' apparently...? What's the story there?!

@Daryl: Modern dance? Is that what the kanji says? I don't actually know anything about the place, I was just walking by and liked the play of light and shadow with the blue color.

"Nihongo Hanasemska"? I really love it, written in "Hiragana" in blue, great composition

The Japanese writing is katakana, often used for words from other languages. It says 'modern dance' ... a mystery for you to investigate for us Twelvebit!
