Sea bathing festival @3 Photo

Photographer’s Note

This is the continuation from @1. After 14 portable shrines together-ed, one by one portable shrines bathed in the sea with receiving rough wave from pacific ocean. Bathing the sea water means purification. After all 14 portable shrines entered the sea, situation has become chaos, booing shouted, all participants were excited crowd.
By the way this photo is my 600th submission, I have just noticed.

Hello Takero, this is a very good shot.
First of all you captured well the effort and the concentration of the men.
Then the out of focus background is perfect, as it is very uniform and it picks up the colors of the subject.
Very good work
Regards Stefano

What a reportage you're giving us Takero !
I like the BG out of focus showing another shrine and the crowd
The first one at the FG stands out well on this BG
Very well done

Hello Takero,
A good continuation of your series, with expressive faces, clear pale colours with excellent skin tones and a background that gives an idea of the great crowds.
Regards,
Paul
