A Shinto priestess

[dgpno2]

I was fortunate to witness an elaborate traditional Japanese wedding at the Nogi Shrine in central Tokyo. This lady was one of the many priests, priestesses and other functionaries who took part.

That must have been something to see - I am sure.
post more photos!

The subject and composition are great, but I would have lightened up the subject with a brush or whatever.  Wish I could have been there.

Thanks, Elsa and Ron.

Ron - I'm only able to do very basic processing while on this trip (no time), and this image will get the full treatment when I'm home.

No problem, sometimes I find myself in the same place.

Must have been very special to be there and to take photos!

Very nice! I've shot many traditional weddings but never one of these so far.

The 3D effect around her head is almost pLpable on my screen.

Thanks, everyone, for all the kind words.
