Bonjour Takero,
une magnifique photo comme tu peux faire sur les manifestations traditionnelles au Japon avec cette image de personne 稟� qui participe au festival.
En 2006 j'騁ais � Nagoya et j'ai assist� au festival de l�-bas, Domatsuri et j'騁ais frapp� par le nombre des personnes, comme ce vieux monsieur, participants � ces d馭il駸 populaires.
C'騁ait tr鑚 touchant. D'aillers pendant ces d馭il駸 j'ai fait pas mal de photos que prochainement, la semaine prochaine, j'irai les montrer � TE.
Ce sera la semaine du Japon 2006.
Amiti駸,
Elisabeth

Hello Takero,

Very portrait Takero, perhaps would little bit cropping above and make a square portrait, this is but a proposition of my.
Sharpness and clarity are pleasant for look at.
Excellent composition, good presentation too. TFS.

Best regards,
John

Hi Takero
Nice portrait with good Dof, at first glance there seems to be too much empty space above his head but I see you wanted to have these 3 written boards in the frame
Have a nice day JY
