Photographer’s Note
Sakura in Full Bloom on Full Moon night.
A Perfect combination of picture. And what's more: I did not even have to go any farther than 100 meters from my house to Komatsugawa Senbon-Zakura park to take this shot.
Notes: Fill-in flash used.
(Senbon-zakura literally means 1000 trees of sakura.)

Hi Shailesh !
A very nice catch.
I love the colors and light.
A spring and came to Japan.
Have a good day,
Adrian

Shailesh,
An oddity - someways - though ultimately pleasing - it defies the rules - yet comes out on top in the non-linear, non-functional typography of the modern aesthetic. Hey!
Cheers

hi Shailesh
Good title!
Very interesting for us to see the sakura in bloom and at night through your capture, and especially with full moon. Nice work but I would comment on
.blur in focus due to hand motion without tripod?
.tilt in level
.blur of BG light posts and bridge is serious
.would be nice to see sharp sakura detail and pink color
My personal view only. tfs, bill

I like the composition, but I think it would have been best to use a tripod for a scene like this. Also, if you have an external flash, try powering it down a bit, so the light isn't very harsh. A flash diffuser would certainly help also.
Just my 2 yen...That's how I've learned from other TrekEarthers! ;p
PS: Lucky you live close to Sakuragaoka. I've heard a lot of good things about it.
