The wedding procession Photo

Photographer’s Note

The first weekend in Tokyo, we went to see the Meiji-Jingu shrine in Harajuku.
And luckily enough there was a wedding ceremony ready to start just as we arrived.

Hello Harry,
The colors are really beautiful. Maybe it would be better to take the whole umbrella in the frame. But it is nice with this position, too. The expressions of the people are great, Very nice composition,
Best regards,
Tulay

Hi Harry,

This is a super, mega, extra, wonder, gazillion lucky shot!! Wowwwwwwwwwwwwww!

Oh! I wish I could have one like that! This a so beautiful, minimum colour scheme, dominant green and black, with a touch of red here and there, and a big eye-magnet, bold and graphic umbrella.

The composition is impeccable, and the faces of husband and wife are clearly visible. Very ceremonial atmosphere and documentary quality. insightful witness vision.

Worth a million! Goes in my favorites!!!

Well done!

André

Hello Harry.
Very nicely taken shot, with good orientation and cropping. I like the red highlights and the view along the angled line of very serious looking wedding personnel. Excellent.
Regards,
Andrew

Hi Harry what a striking and elementary capture, full of graphic appeal. The compo is great - arranged round the red hues and I l love the deadpan expressions too.
Very neat work.
Have a fine week,
Bert

I must create a theme about weddings on TE,because I like so much all these local traditions and for sure this one will be the first image added in my theme!They are so so serious and the procession looks so severe .....
Here we use to laugh a lot at this kind of events :):):)
