Children Kabuki festival #3, a photo from Shiga, Kinki

Photographer's Note

At as same as previous dressing room. Now she(actually he) started wearing kimono. As you see, he is still a boy, but he would have changed dramatically to the perfect lady soon.

My dear Takero-san!
A wonderful portrait as always! His downward glance does not hide his innocent eyes. The focus is perfect on his face & the bokeh on either side perfectly rendered!
Best Regards
Angshuman

Hello Takero,
This is an interesting composition placing the boy between the two women facing hin from each side. His painted face makes him almost look more like a doll than a human. A carefully composed picture with superb handling of the light.
Best regards,
Gert

Takero
Nella mia città ho visto i Kabuki , Forse 20 quadri , diversi e per me ragazzino insoliti ....
Ho visto le ultime tre foto ...visi di ceramica e sguardi nel vuoto ,
Espressioni e tradizione .
Complimenti amico mio

A very sensible portrait of this young boy. Interesting to see this very special make-up. A very sharp and engaging photo.
Kind regards
Gunnar

WoW! this is an excellent portrait Takero. I love the expression of young person, so different from that of the woman on the background. also the color represents a way to be different within a same situation. this is a moment that you have made eternal. congrats Takero for this shot.
my best
Simonetta

Very artistically done portrait, with such beautiful spot on clarity to the boy. Like others have said, I love the positioning of the three people. You have caught a subtle moment here. Expertly done as always! Warm regards,

Hello
Today we have in Poland, the second day of Easter, called Smingus-Dyngus. Friends fail this good-naturedly with water, the young boys also sprinkles the water on the girl and gently hit the willow rods. Cheerful spring day.
A beautiful portrait of a young girl in festive makeup. Excellent quality.
Yours
Joseph

hello Takero,
an excellent portrait of a fascinating culture. Your dof allows the viewer to focus attention on the face of the young boy.Perfect light and a good composition, contrasting youth and age.
best regards,

Hi Takero
I really like the 3 layers you have produced, whether it be on purpose or by clever accident :)
these layers give us the depth of field that the eye recognizes right away.
clever work
cheers

Hello Takero,
You have produced a lovely series of pictures of this festival. This one I enjoy particularly beacuse of the clever way that you have focussed on the boy with one person in front and one behind. The picture is delicate and beautiful and I love his sideways glance.
Great work.
Regards, Ann

dear Takero
amazing portrait work great idea to make sharp her between 2 faces blurred. A great lesson to how to use the aperture technic. Bravo my friend ihsan
