Wonderful capture of the ladies and makes me realize how little I really know about the EAST being from the WEST and keep them coming in style.   Posted: 08/10/2022 15:40:41

This is a nice portrait. But let's unpack your title: "Complicated." Are these cross-dressers?   Posted: 08/14/2022 22:09:34

An interesting shot, well captured. Like Stpehen, I wondered why you included 'complicated' in the title.   Posted: 08/24/2022 09:59:05

The dressing of two ladies can represent the traditional culture in Japan !! Good !   Posted: 08/26/2022 03:14:46

I worked for a Japanese company for 35 years and the addition of the word "complicated" in the title of the image is so very correct. This is a great composition and perfect depth of field to highlight the subjects. I'm glad you resisted temptation and didn't crank up the color contrast (which I probably would have done) in post processing because the colors as captured are true to the sense of subtlety that defines the culture.   Posted: 08/26/2022 10:17:47
