Awa Odori #2, a photo from 東京, 関東

Photographer's Note

She was one of the most beatiful dancers.
The average age of this kind of dance are relatively high, I suppose.

Hello Takero,
You always find the prettiest girls to photograph and they all seem to enjoy posing for you. What is your secret? ;-)
She has a marvellous hat and the photo is nicely cropped.
Best reards,

Hi Takero

A splendid model, an excellent quality, pleasant colors; what else? Maybe a little too centered, but kudos anyway..; the hat was certainly a nightmare to fit into the picture!

HI Takero!
First of all:
I deleted my Photo from Mrauk U with the cow,because I had a problem with the color setting of my monitor,but thannks for your comment.
This is a great portrait of this very nice girl and her strange hat.
I like the way how she gives you a nice smile and the blurred background looks great.
Regards,Leo

Hello Takero, I am sure I have missed some culture of your recent shots, but glad to be back. Excellent portrait of this young woman dressed in her native habit and with a nice smile on her lips. The hat looks like an inverted fan, very well done. Regards, Roger

A wonderful photo here Takero...really quite nice. All of your shots from these festivals are just great, but this one is really special. Her very stylish headpiece, together with the way you've captured the lighting and her wonderful face and smile, make for a beautiful photo. Very nicely done again!

daddo (28748) 2010-07-28 4:15

Hi dear Takero. You definitely had a lot of choice as to which beautiful dancer to photograph. What an opportunity for a photographer and someone who appreciates beauty!Lovely sparkle in her eyes and a sweet smile- obviously she didn't mind being photographed.The straw/reed hat makes her pretty face even more elegant. Fine light. Regards. Klaudio.
