well, it s easy - I screwed up.
I did not wanted to cut the left arm. I did not control the croping enough, it is my fault (I shot 24x36 and just cropped the bottom and up aprts a bit, just like someone shooting 24x36 to get a square).
True to say, I was crushed by a mass of japanese and the action was fast, so I got distracted. If I could do it again I would shoot wieder to get the arm and also more space in front.
For lighting, I always stick to the following - no flash, no direct sunlight if possible, cloud if possible, shadow if possible. Makes color looks better, kills ugly shadows on the subject, makes people open their eyes.
The colors come from the very rich, deep and vivid colors the japanese uses during those matsuri. Those girls clothes are 100 percent silk kimonos made from the best tradition, not the synthetic flashy stuff you have to deal with. AWB and Standard setting in camera, opens in photoshop with the camera profil and, ajust temp color if needed, no treatment in post prosc.
Keep in mind almost all of my shots are made in non-controled conditions.
Hope that help !

about the lighting. isn't it out of your control to a large extent whether it is sunny or cloudy?
your pics are so great they seem like you took hours with the composition and setting up perfect lighting..
mind boggling..
