This photo should have more comments. You have captured a very beautiful moment here that seems to show the people beneath the heavy makeup. I love the range of expressions and how there is a story inside of the photo. This is probably my favorite shot of yours that I have seen. Excellent work.
I don't know why it won't let me enter my details, but the anonymous comment was from me. Anyhow, send me an email at nickcoutts@gmail.com when you're going to be in Kyoto again and I'll set aside a day to go out and take photos with you.
