Going through my #Osaka #Japan #Photography from 2019, while trying to capture a mood for some writing, I had another look at this image; the multitude of individual human dramas and stories. The young women at the bottom corners like compositional Lamassu. Laughing couples, pensive hawkers... then I was brought up short. That one guy at the other end of the clearing in the crowd, who had stopped dead, and stared straight down the barrel of the camera while I took the shot.

Bravo.
