Photographer’s Note

this shot was taking at a festival of neighborhood association.
"Rikishi" (sumo wrestler) versus children, that is one of the act of the festival.
People enjoy innocence of child and force of Rikishi.

Hello, Yuo -

Very amusing shot, and good capture of daily life. But I find the out-of-focus people in the background a bit distracting.

hi Yuo

Very interesting capture and humorous shot of the kid testing his strength. Good pov and composition to show the pink flowers in background.

TFS, bill

Hi, Yuo. Who won? A good humorous picture with this child fighting against the giant. Nice to see the crowd watching and the blossoming cherry trees in the background. The two men in tracksuit really seem to be enjoying the moment...

hello yuo

that's a funny and in my opinion interesting Trek-Earthy share. the people figures form an interesting perspective exploding in the mighty figure of Rikishi. blooming sakura(?) in the backtround provide extra geographical anchor and the crowd expression dynamic is interesting too.

i guess, i would crop a bit off from the right side to allow Rikishi on the right-most 1/3 vertical and letting the perspective pyramid play out to its fullest.

warm regards and TFS

The courage and ambition of this little boy are really admirable. Though I guess he still has much to eat, if he wants to knock down the big guy one day.
Funny shot! Well seen and captured.

Well captured!
