A pity you didn't have more interesting light for this. I would also like to see it without the photographer, although this could have been tricky to achieve without losing the first woman on the right.

Yes, a shame it is so washed out. In good light, the kimono colors should 'pop'. Sankien is a favorite of mine in cherry blossom season. Maybe some adjustment can be made in PP?
Cheers,

This was one of those moments where it just happened. Not set up time. I tried to clone him out, but botched it far worse.

I probably washed it out during PP, since it was a bit dark. I'll go back in and see if I can't fix and post later.

You're absolutely correct about cherry blossom season, though the park can get VERY crowded at that time. It's Ume blossom time now, so there is some good color there, just not as much when the sakura is in bloom.

This is straight out of the camera, no PP.

I'd be interested if someone could try and clean this up to see if they can get the colors to pop.
