Hibuse Festival #3, a photo from Iwate, Tohoku

Photographer's Note

I think she is one of charming girls, I continued to watch her action. Basically this is the sacred festival, so her expression remained nervse. But at the momet she showed surprising action while she chat with her friend. Fortunately I did not miss to get her cute expression.
-----------
I will be out of Tokyo for another shooting festivals at my birth area (NAGOYA) for several days.

Hello dear Takero,
a wonderful portrait of the young musician at a very happy and exciting moment. You've captured the moment perfectly, with great timing and clarity, in a superb tight vertical frame. Lighting is great and colours are lovely. The costumes and hair ornaments are fascinating. The other two girls' indifferent expressions make a striking contrast with the first girl's enthusiasm which captivates and affects the viewer. A delightful picture, well done and thank you!
All the best,
Ourania

Hello
Beautiful double portrait of two beautiful young girls, and maybe the children?. Beauty Japanese women are so delicate that it's sometimes difficult to guess the age of the girls. They wore wonderful traditional robes. Perfect picture.
Yours
