Sakura & Float #3, a photo from Aichi, Chubu

Photographer's Note

At the top of the hill of mother shrine, this float has raised up, taking 30 minutes. You can se many riiops inorder to pull uo this 3 ton big float. We have many injures aometimes death during this taoght task. So not only the pullers but also leaders are so serious and sometjing terrible to the audiences.

Dear Takero!

This spring festival provides a wonderful capture in motion, excellent colours and white balance and very good expression in motion, forceful and a good expression of team spirit...All together now!!

I hope you are really well...

Have a nice day...

Hello Takero,
This is very interesting scene. Many people have taken part in that, so I am sure it was difficult to managed. However you have executed that picture very well. Congrats!

Hello
Great Car pulled by men in black ceremonial uniforms. When passing between the blossoming cherry trees, it looks really cool. Colossal quality of the photo, it's full of movement and life.

Takero
Una cascata di bianco (ben gestito ) e sicuramente ben grestito.
Il vento di cui mi parlavi a Tokio.....ed il nostro "mistral" della Sardegna.
Un'altra foto , per Voi piena di significati ...che la nota spiega .
Complimenti
GF

Ciao caro Takero,
non era facile gestire questa bella scena in mezzo a tanto bianco.
Ma tu ce l'hai fatto benissimo proponendo un'immagine di grande effetto.
Complimenti per il bel risultato ottenuto.
Un caro abbraccio
Giorgio
