This upload of a Shinto ceremony looks like a lot of work. You do have spillage of orange on the floor, and marginal misses on the pillar but you need to go to Hi-res and enlarge to see them. More prominent are orange telltale plops on the man's head and into the background as well as the folded zig zag banner. One thing you could do, instead of redoing everything is just to go in with a desaturate brush and eliminate those sneaky oranges. It is unfortunate that the priest's face is obliterated by the banner and the woman is generously amputated. We do get the story that this is a quiet moment and most likely cameras were considered intrusive.

HOLY GUACAMOLE this is a very powerful shot, full of vibrance, the poppy is pin sharp, your selective colour out technique is flawless, exposure good and the gray zone is balanced and smartly handled. A strong and engaging image...a pleasure to review.

Ohhh this is lovely. You may want to change the maroon coloured stems (rather base) of those flowers into b/w as this contest calls for orange only. I love the swoosh across the canvas, that flowly feeling the sharpness is there and the dof works to bring in a dreamy image.

I have removed some of the dark orange bits, it looks cleaner now.
