This is another version of this week’s challenge. I wanted to do this photo originally but the mushrooms I found today really enchanted me. If you would like to check out the mushrooms, go here.
Found this butterfly on the road in Harajuku. Took a few photos but getting the angle I wanted was hard. I was so focused (ha ha) on the butterfly I didn’t notice the woman in the background until later. I think she makes the photo.
This is a fun challenge. If you want to read more about it, check out this week’s photo challenge.
This is superb! Love the angle, perspective, colour and focal point. Love it!

Wow, just…wow! I have to say that this one really sticks with me much more than the mushroom (although I like that one too). You’re right, the woman really makes this photo! This was a really great way to capture something that happens all the time. Yet, we just continue on with our day. We pause for a moment and think, “Sad.” Then move on. Love the colors and focal point! Glad you submitted this to the Daily Post so I could find it!

Thanks for visiting The Spendy Pencil. Butterfly Down is one of my favorite photos, too, so I’m thrilled you like it.
Do you know the painting Landscape with the Fall of Icarus by Pieter Bruegel? It was painted in the mid-1500’s and has much the same kind of idea as my photo. Icarus is falling into the sea, but no one sees. I always thought that kind of sentiment was modern cynicism but seems not.
