playing music

Posted by akarui (Kagoshima, Japan) on 28 August 2008 in People & Portrait and Portfolio.

Just after the sunset I saw this guy sitting on a warf and playing the local instrument of Okinawa. I wish I could have take him from an other angle but the sea was in front of him...

Critiques would be appreciated.
Thank you very much for all your comments.

Bad luck, because I'm sure everyone would be interested by his instrument…

Naturel décore dans la culture de la musique, mise au point bonne, la netteté excellente, j'ai vu des avis sur la canon G9, très surprenant....

こんにちは～。海を見つめ島唄を奏でる・・・いいですね。
　実際さんしんのリズムが聞こえて来そうです。因みに私の父（故人）もさんしんを趣味にしてましたので懐かしく思います。

Oh! Olivier, these portraits are simply wonderful, you could make a fantastic photograph book or series of prints out of these. they are amazing!

I'm not sure what angle would be better than this, because the sea adds so much to the photo. I really like the crop as well, which very effectively frames the scene.
