Ka-boom!

Every shot.

Alain, these are marvelous. No c&c possible.

Every pic here is of that rare breed: Photos I actually want to save, and look at again, over & over, for the sheer pleasure of it. Just perfect in every way.

well, I don't think I deserve that, I've got a lot of average shots but thanks

Wow, these are really fantastic. One of the best series (of anything) I've seen in a long time. I just love the crops you use! Great work!

Alain, you bring a new breath to this domain - thank for sharing and keep more coming - this series is great

well, I'm REALLY not deserving that kind of comment ! I'm just clicing, sharing and having fun. Life's is so rich, that's what photography is all about.

Happy shooting !

Awe inspiring photography. Wonderful stuff.

Alain,

I have been viewing this thread since it started. Your photo's are terrific. I find each one a joy to look at and to study as the composition is so well done.

Very inspiring photos! Thanks for posting!

Man, Japan must be a dream for Portrait photography (as showcased). Colorful heritage, its just so surreal. Beautiful shots, I particularly like... well.. all of them!

Thanks to all of you for your warm comments

bluetsunami > it's hard not to make good photo here, lovely culture and people the hardest part might be knowing what and when to shoot and what it does mean

Really good photo's

thanks sven

Impressionant !!! quelle est ta ville prefere ? je compte aller au japon cet hiver !

thanks anorphirith
i'm switching to english
my favorite town in kyoto, for sure ! culturaly speaking, it is as rich as Paris, the mountains are always really near and Kinki (kansai) is just great ...
if you can go to japan, try to avoid winter, it's not the best time ... for a first trip, pick spring or autumn
