That look!

I went to a private Taiko drum performance by the Kato Family in Santa Clara, California. Dad is a world-champion Taiko drummer from Japan. They plan to tour 50 states and do 1000 performances in the next few years. This was their 417th performance. What an uplifting experience for their kids to travel and perform! They got interviewed by NHK World: youtu.be/iGgShoq7-r0. After the performance we had fun conversations over potluck dinner.

 

I processed a balanced and a photographic HDR photo from a RAW exposure, blended them selectively, carefully adjusted the color balance and curves, desaturated the image, and added some vignetting. I welcome and appreciate constructive comments.
