Hello Elvis.
This is very beautiful shot. The B&W medium works very well in your composition. The triangle created by the shaows and the woman adds a nice bit of geometry as does the hills as a backdrop. Beautiful framing and clarity.

Welcome to TE.

Best wishes,
Chris

Dear Elvis,
Great B&W post, shadows of the woman are very sharp and the framing is almost perfect. I wish you could have left just a tiny bit of space at the bottom. Anyway, congrats.

Regards,
Soumik

Hi Elvis,

Welcome to TE. Your first shot is very interesting. The light is very beautiful, soft, clear and well distributed in the whole frame, playing with the dark areas, and with the geisha shadow. The double shadow gives a undefenied feeling of unreality. Beautiful! Thanks.

Hi Elvis,
A very nice shot with the shadows on the background, good compositiion being slightly of centre and not exactly in the middle. A good choice to use black and white.
Regards
Wanda

Elvis,
A very beautiful shot!...
This is so different from the usual Geisha shots...It has been almost a un written rule that every one takes gisha with their colourful Best!...
Here you have had a fantastic one with breaking every one of that set pattern. Forst B&W and then avoiding the most colourful front face...
One more lesson learnt!!..
Thanks,
Prem.
