Although I'm now in England, this blog will still feature photos from Japan for the foreseeable future.
I apologise in advance if I'm tardy with commenting on your blogs or returning comments during the week... I will get to you though!

Beautiful bold colors - the black background really serts them off. Au naturel or Photoshop?

@Ken McCoy: I erased some of the background detail (this is a crop from yesterday's shot) and as you can see, did some processing with with the tones and colour. I'm not an expert with that kind of thing though - used Picasa and Paint Shop Pro, which I find very user-friendly and fairly idiot proof!
@rverspirit: Thanks rverspirit!
@Kairospix: Thanks K. No, its an edit from the previous day's shot.
Mike Cash from Kiryu, Japan
Best koinobori shot I've ever seen! I love how you work the black and show that you're not "afraid of the dark" in the photo.

@Mike Cash: Thank you Mike. Was going for a 'shin hanga' style effect.
@Anup: Oh. Sorry about that...
@Ray: Thank you Ray.
