Original – Profile of geisha Kimiha from Miyagawacho, wearing a formal black kimono (tomesode) and a Shimada-styled nihongami wig. Her obi is tied in the "taiko" (drum) style. All these are details which clearly distinguish her from a maiko - an apprentice.
Reason
High technical standard (object is in focus, good color balance, little grain or compression (ISO 200)), good composition, appropriate lighting, but most and foremost, very high EV as it's a perfect profile of a geisha showing off her make-up, her hair (wig), her kimono, her obi, her doing the seiza, and all of this in her "natural habitat", a zashiki (tatami) room. A rather rare photo, if I may say so myself.
Support - Crop is a little tight (the kimono is a bare hundred pixels or so from the edge) but the composition is still acceptable. Wouldn't this also have good EV in seiza? — Crisco 1492 (talk) 06:15, 17 June 2014 (UTC)
Support - Oh, yes. Like the strait back, the stillness and the profile and the blacks and whites with just a touch of colour on lips, hair and robe. Only wish it was slightly more space in front, but it will do anyway.Hafspajen (talk) 09:22, 17 June 2014 (UTC)
Support. I think it's a superior composition compared to the previous geisha FPs and there is plenty of detail. I'll have to assume it's authentic as I'm not really knowledgeable enough to comment on that. Ðiliff«»(Talk)18:50, 18 June 2014 (UTC)
