Look a lot like Japanese cosplayers! They often dress up in this 'gothic' style. Its interesting to see that this kind of thing is not limited to Japan.

Welcome to TrekEarth! Interesting garden. It looks like chaos, but I'm sure there's a meaning to it somewhere. ;) Composition and framing are nice, and the point-of-view (POV) from above is a great choice. Making it a portait image was also a good choice. Nice shot! Keep them coming! :) -Richard

Hi Yoshiyuki, Another wonderful photo of a bird! How do you manage to get such great shots? Can you please tell us the common names of the birds? Your notes are very disappointing, and its a shame because your photos are so brilliant. -Richard

Beautiful scene... The colours are wonderful, and the haziness adds a lot of atmosphere. The sun cutting through the trees creates a good contrast between the bright reds and yellows, and the dark greens and browns. Very well framed. I mean the way the photo is taken, rather than the actual frame/border that you added to the image. The framing creates a good composition of sun on the right, and path on the left that goes off into the forest. Thanks for sharing!

The shape is similar to Mount Fuji! I guess because both are volcanoes, so have a classic volcano shape.

Hi Morea, Welcome to TrekEarth :) This is a lovely little statue. Its a JIZOU statue, to commemorate a deceased child. The statues are always sad but heartwarming at the same time. I've never seen one in this kind of pose before. Thank you for sharing :) I hope you post more to TrekEarth! -Richard

I can't imagine anyone ever actually queuing to play Pachinko. They must have all been very desperate. Japanese suburbs are often not very pretty, I found. But they all have a character of their own that I liked. Its interesting to see a Japan that's not all clean and shiny like the guidebooks would have us believe. Framing is good, though you cut off a bit of the Pachinko Parlour's sign. The image could do with being straightened slightly, with a few degrees anti-clockwise, I think. Anyway, interesting photo. Thanks for sharing!

Hi Tsutomu ^_^ That place sounds a lot like "Round1" in Akita. There you pay 1500 yen for three hours of ASOBIHOUDAI. You can play tennis, mini-golf, basketball, football, baseball, bowling, and lots of arcade games. There's also karaoke, massage chairs, shooting galleries and an internet cafe! Just like "Round1" in Akita, the lower floor was full of those medal games, which makes people feel like they're gambling ;) And UFO Cathers, which I became good at winning! :D Anyway, about the photo. I think the framing is great, and an interesting point-of-view. This photo reminds me a lot of Akita ^_^

Hi Michael, Why did you do such an extreme edit to the photo? Not that I think its a bad thing. It makes it look like an old photo from the 1940s or 1950s. I can imagine this being a photo from that era. I'm interested in seeing the photo in true colour. The image itself is well framed, and a good composition of the soldiers and the drill sergeant in front of them. Is it easy to freely take photos of such things in China? I havn't been there, but I'd imagine they would start asking questions if tourists took photos of soldiers. Even in democratic countries, taking photographs of certain buildings or military activity can cause a scene. -Richard

Hi Rob, Interesting place. You've framed the different ruins and gravestones very well. The clouds add a lot to the image, I think. Well done! It could do with being straightened slightly. A few degrees to the right, I think. It is difficult to judge with the hill and so many conflicting angles, but something just doesn't feel "right" about the photo, somehow. The correct spelling of "monastry" is "monastery". :) Thanks for sharing! -Richard
