| I get the idea but I feel that the combination of the old and new has meant you have missed capturing the spirit of Japan - you may have captured an element that defines the Japanese culture of today but I don't see that as the spirit |

| The colors on this candid are lovely. The kimono as a symbol of japanese culture comes across with the dress this little girl is adorned in. It also *seems* to brush/touch upon the stereotype of the Japanese tourist always taking pictures with the camera. I say seems because that has been a stereotype but I think it is much more interesting to note that it is human spirit to want to capture the beauty or feeling of an event that they experience. That is what I see in this young girl as she stops to look at the picture she has just taken. This candid tells me a story of this young girl at a local cultural fair that is 'documenting' her day spent there. But there is one thing lacking - what is the emotions: sad, happy, wistful, etc. The biggest weakness is that we don't get to see her eyes and face much. The eyes and facial expression could tell us so many things including emotion. I would have liked to have seen more of her face and eye expressions. I know she is absorbed in the camera and her gaze in downwards. It would have been a difficult but perhaps not impossible shot if this was taken at an angle that was more lower to the ground looking up rather than it being a straight & level shot as it appears to be. As that this appears to be a candid picture it might have been fortuitous to take several more shots with the young girl looking up and showing us her facial expressions as she looks around or searches for next picture to capture:-) |
