Chagu-chagu Umako new year praying #3, a photo from Iwate, Tohoku

Photographer's Note

A small jocky was surprised at so many photographers including me, standing by them. Decorations for a horse was so gorgeous and her traditional costume and hut were so primitive but that was why so tastefeul.

Hello Takero,

Thanks for your reply on my picture, I use almost always one red point for portraits, this care for almost always for a nice blurred background.
These picture is very nice with the child surpriced behind the horse.
Excellent depth and perspective picture
Composition makes the picture attractive.
Very well done, TFS.

Have a nice weekend,
John.

hi Takero,
I dont know who is the star of this image, the horse with its beautiful decoration, or the young girl, who looks quite surprised, and very innocent in the image. A beautiful selection of colours, and a perfect vantage point, a real image to make me smile :)
All the best
noel

Hello dear Takero,
a lovely picture of the cute little boy and his horse heavily decorated with so many items and colours that surely have a special significance. I like very much the boy's playful posture and delightful friendly smile. The clarity, lighting and colours of the picture are superb. Congratulations and thank you!
All the best, have a great Sunday,
Ourania

Dear Takero,
indeed, amazing decorations for the horse!! so colourful and interesting in each of their detail. i really wonder what each detail means, but perhaps now nobody can say it, even though it's a tradition...?
Very nice photo which makes me smile :)

warmest greetings from foggy Stockholm,
Elena

Hello
Horse beautifully adorned with colorful stripes, sequins and golden mane of cords. In addition to horses, a very nice little girl in traditional Japanese dress. Very interesting portrait of two friends.
Yours
Joseph

Pak Takero YTH
A striking image full of joy and fun to look! What a precise timing, It's filled with vivid colours and standout so stunningly from everything else. This cutie has such an sweet expression! and a fleeting moment well grabbed and the sheer joy is a delight to behold. She has great fun peeking at the horse and so do we just happy picture. The many colours add to the happiness. Great picture. Congrats
Warm regards

Hi Takero!
You have such a great series of this festival! I also like this one a lot, with the girl looking from behind the horse. Their costumes and the decorations of the horses are really eye catching. Another good addition to your great theme!
Have a great New Year!
