Photographer’s Note

The season of cherry blossoms is only a few weeks in a year. In these days, people can see cherry trees with full of blossoms everywhere in the country. So every Japanese has some memories concerning cherry blossoms. That is reason why the most of old people love to see the cherry blossoms.

Konnichi-wa, Keitaro!

This is a nice daily life shot as well as a nature one, showing how the old people are taken care of. I thought at first that the flowers were too harsh, but after doing a small WS to lower the midtones, when I compared it to the original I decided it's OK, so I am not posting it. However, you do have an overhang in the upper right which should have been cropped out.

Regards,
Dan

hi Keitaro

Superb shot of very scenic landscaped garden. Sakura, the Japanese lovely national flower. Very nicely done, although I would wait 2 seconds to get the wheelchair facing you.

TFS, bill

Hallo Keitaro!
That's what many people here know about Japan: Cherry blossom festival! And it really is beautiful, very beautiful. But it is only just one facet of your fascinating and in many things for Europeans "incomprehensible" country. Thank you for showing this!
Greetings from again a bit winterly Germany!
