Hi Takero,
Fantastic scene. Really well captured and perfect timing. Excellent shapness and detail taking into account that the lighting was far from perfect and that everybody must have been in motion. The inclusion of the building is great and an exta bonus. TFS and have a nice day!
Cheers,
Ulf

Hi Takero
Il doit être intéressant d'assister a ce festival, l'ambiance est bien resentie, le format, la netteté et la lumière parfaite, j'ai regarder celle ou ils sont dans l'eau froide, ici en Europe cela ce fait aussi de prendre un bain dans la mer froide
Belle soirée

Hello Takero,
You were lucky to see such a moment. I see the enthusiasm in these people. Amazing to see that the passion and energy converting the cold water to steam. One must see it in person to experience the thrill. A very well composed shot with beautiful colors and sharpness.

Hello Takero,
You were standing really right next to the action. Splendid capture of these men who actively participate in full devotion to the festival.
The picture is well detailed, clear and excellently sharp. The typical building makes a perfect backdrop.

Hello Dear Takero-san
This picture is full of vitality & full of vibrance as the strong action is clearly evidenced with the spraying water & the excited faces. It might be risky for the camera to be so close to the water...no?
Another fine picture of the festivals in your culture rich country
Best Regards
Angshuman
