Bill, ya got a good one here....once again
Question. Is that her real hair? I mean, like the back bun...or is it part real and part plastic hat type thing?

Don't think that's hers. If so, WOW!
But every bride's hair was essentially the same in every way - bulk, shape, etc. I know that it's tradition, but you'll rarely see a girl here with enough hair to pull of this style naturally.
I'm sure that it's all hair. Just not all hers.

This is magnificent!
I love her pose and how you caught her. Very well done.
Her expression is wonderful and i also like her hair.

Thank you so much, Emerson.
She's certainly a beauty!

Wow, an excellent capture of a very lovely woman! I love her hair ornaments - yellow was a wonderful colour to choose for an autumn marriage, and she looks positively ecstatic for a Japanese bride. Was the groom cute?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Certainly a great choice for color. But would you expect anything less?
The groom? No. My wife and I laughed all day, because it seemed to be the day of arranged marriages. Either that or hidden endowments.

Well, some people make very unfortunate choices in their clothing. One of my teachers got married and used these awful vomit-green hair ornaments that made her look like she was sick or something. I mean, I couldn't TELL her that, but that's what I was thinking.
Well, let's hope that internally they are absolutely made for each other....
Speaking of which, did you hear about the princess marrying a commoner? All my Japanese friends have been going on and on about how romantic it is.

What? The princess married a commoner? NO WAY!
Of course, it was huge news here. NHK covered, in detail, her last tea ceremony as a princess. Nevermind the commentary on the impacts to the royal blood line, etc., etc.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
hahaha, oh no, not the precious royal bloodline! Was she the only princess? I heard that from someone, but I wasn't sure. Either way, the royal family isn't dying out, and....don't they know how many people out there have royal blood from emperors and princes having affairs with nobodies hundreds of years ago?
Good old NHK.

She was the last princess.
The prince made quite an uproar when he suggested that the royal family start using concubines again.

Nicely done Bill
the classic composition works so beautifully with here and the detail is amazing! I've said it before and I'll probably say it again... the crystal clarity of your images never fails to impress, difficult daylight conditions (well for me anyway

Oh, it was difficult, Mike. You know that. Took some work to get it right, but I think the end result was worth it.
Thank you, my friend!

Incredibly beautiful image. Wonderful in every way. I wouldn't touch it. Outstanding work!

good portrait, very good spot light.

Thank you!
That's because the professional photographer set up his area in an area between trees, so that she had the sun filtering down between the branches. Perfect spot for shots like this.

Not only her hair..is so...meticulously brushed and set...
her expression is so...calm and serene...
beautiful portrait...love the fact that she isn't looking at you...
so you got to be more lucky than her photographer in my opinion

I've got some great candids of her, as she was being prepared for the next round of professional shots. I may just have to share one...
Thank you, as always, Cristina!

I always do.
Comments and journals first, then deviations (for a break). Then off to messages.
Keeps me sane that way.

Gorgeous portrait, i have to agree with that
good job

Bill, you can't fool me, I know exactly why you took this photo. Forget the Gorgeous colors, and exquisite compostion, forget the great use of depth of field, forget the perfect expressionless face you catch.
Look at one thing! The Lines... Shes got a whole head of them and you just couldn't resist.
Good shot bill.

Sorry for my mistake, I said that I saw similar pictures from billsabub, but off course I ment rubberman542!

Interesting. I never got notified that he has posted those shots. Otherwise, I may not have posted this one.
You'll notice that his are different. He was standing about two feet to my right.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh please do post your shots!! I don't care. I like to see what pictures you took and what pictures he took. Of course they are different!!! And of course there are people who just watch one of you. You're both excellent photographers, I dont want to miss any shot of your Japanese subjects!!!

I think I will post one more of her. Something to counter the prim properness of this shot.
