I find this image interesting to view. I like the architecture that you captured and the lovely clothing of the geishas. I also like how they are "crossing". The walkway has interesting patterns too.

Comment from Lemur Larissa
This is a photo of interesting contrasts. I can tell this was taken in an old district. The building's colors are washed out, as does the opposite wall's paint. the grounds might be old, but they appear well cared for. The geishas' outfits are the only things that look new. What I find most interesting about this photo is that nobody looks rushed and the streets are orderly despite being crowded. It's so unlike even the Little Tokyo part of LA. Thanks for sharing.

I love the capture. The bright vibrant colors are beautiful. When I look at this it reminds me immediately of one of my favorite movies: Memoirs of a Geisha. I would love to know more about these women. I am curious about what brought you to Japan.

Nice shot with excellent exposure, color and focus. Love that we see some from behind and some facing us. An alternate crop would be to lose the top half altogether. It doesn't add to the image and the blown out sky is distracting.

Again your photograph holds a big impact. The beauty of these Geisha women comes across so clearly. I exspcially like that you capture two women walking way and the others coming towards you. The large amount of people walk this day and you capture the beautiful elegance of these women. Love your photographs. Thanks for showing yet another finely detailed photograph. Pam

Very colourful and traditionally cultural. Very nicely composed with both sides of the laneway covered with pretty geishas. Good lighting and very clear and focussed. Well captured.

again, very lovely. The colors are nice and very pleasing to the eye. I wonder what they are all looking at lol. something must be going on by those steps. The POV allows us to get a good glimpse as to what the area looks like. Thanks for sharing

Fred,
A beautiful picture of these geisha passing each other in the narrow street in Kyoto dressed in their beautiful & colourful Kimonos so we can as the details from both the front & the back. Beautiful composition framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques & razor sharp focus.
