Syncronized Window Cleaning, a photo from 東京, 関東

Photographer's Note

This picture was taken outside of my office window. I stuck my hand out of this tiny space and started shooting down.
Interesting thing is they always clean windows right before a rain storm. Murphy's law at it's best!

PS. auto contrast and a bit of cropping

So very well observed Ken.
Funny that you could take that picture just by stucking your hand out of the window and succeeded in photographing the reflection as well...
Attractive image, well done!

That is GOOD!. Wery well composed, well seen, and gee.. good thing you looked down the window and caught this synchronized workers. Funny how the brick pavement looks like a wall.

The symmetry is very good here Ken , if only we could all have some luck with these type of shots shame they both did not have matching buckets well done

Excellent this 'synchronized' serie Ken! Amazing you took the photo at the right moment while you were actually not seeing anything..

Just an excellent, excellent composition. The clothing is a bit overexposed on the shoulder but that's not enough to distract from a great photo.

This really is a great shot. The reflections on the window, the wires, the buckets, the yellow stripes in the fence and in the bars... everything is perfect.
WOW.

Vertigo in the extreme. Really well cropped and presented.

Very, very cool photo! Love the colors of the outfits these gentleman are wearing and the way everthing is almost in perfect alignment! Really very good, and it's fortunate that you were right above them like this to take the photo...and having the eye to catch them in the same movement! Well done!
