Japanese Bartender

I took this on a recent trip to Japan in one of the coolest traditional bars I have been to.

Thanks for the comment, although I've never considered this. It was a FF 35mm prime, maybe distortion... maybe he was small!?

Maybe he is just unusually proportioned? (I sympathize with him, my head is too large). The bottles at head height don't look out of proportion to the bottles at body height. At least not to me.

I like it, he has a good expression and it's a good setting. I find the out of focus bottles a little distracting in the foreground though. It's a shame that his tie is obscured also.

Thanks - yep you are right... if I had moved him to the left of the frame just slightly, it would have been much better,

I had had a few Asahi's by then though.

I think it would have been improved if you were a little taller so the bottles in the foreground didn't protrude so high into the frame
