Photographer’s Note

These men are carriers of the portable shrine, just came back form the sea for purification. In order to clean up the shrine from the sea water and also for the purification, much water were severely sprinkled to the shrine and carriers. The tattoo man is much distinguished among the other men.

Very good capture !
You caught the action very well. The sprays and the men's faces are really giving a lot to the scene.I like the smiling people out of focus in the background.
Regards Stefano

Good morning, Takero,
what a charming shot. There is so much positive emotion to it. Great color, excellent skin tones, brilliant detail, nice close crop. I love the expressions, though. And you're right, the tattooed man is very - unique. Another beautifully done photograph. Many thanks and warmest wishes,
Shelly

hi takero,
I think this is one of the best of the "shrine" series - the men's expressions, their body language, the drops of water ... it all fits very well together, especially with the tattooed guy in the middle as an additional eye-catcher.
well done!
