Thank you for visiting my photostream!
Your positive comments and constructive critics are always welcome.
As I'm a native Japanese, I can understand Japanese perfectly , of course, and I also understand English quite well (except informal English). But I'm not good at writing English so it is sometimes difficult for me to write long and sophistcated sentences. Please be patient if I make mistakes.

I always appreciate your comments and if possible, I'd like to respond to each of your comment. But I will respond to your questions about my photos as much as I can.

I also like to appreciate other peoples's wonderful pictures. I frequently visit my contacts' photos and leave short comments whenever I have the time. Threrfore I pick up people as my contacts only who visit my photos frequently or who I really admire his/her pictures so that I can keep up their updates. Please understand my policy before you mark me as your contact.

BlufoxImages (Larry) says:

"Yumi has provided a 'window' to Japan, and I can't get enough of her images! Japan is a beautiful country, and Yumi does very well in expressing that beauty in her photography!

Thank you, Yumi-san, for sharing so much of Japan! You have provided me with even more reasons to add Japan to my future travel destinations!

ありがとうございます

"Yumi is one of the creative and promising Photographer here in Flickr. What stands out in her work is her love of playing with colours! She can bring them out so vividly and beautifully in her pictures. I think Yumi has a special eye for details and colours and I'm proud to be able to view her works and know her in flickr! It's really been an honour! Looking forward to more of her works!

"There are many of us on Flickr who can take and upload photos however, with that, many are not that good. What I love about Yumi's photo stream is that EVERY photo she puts up is a great, quality composition. I am learning from Yumi and other great photogrphers on Flickr that I need to take my time and think about my compositions. I also appreciate Yumi's kindness and thoughtful comments to my photostream. It only makes me want to be a better photographer. Thank you Yumi and I look forward to seeing and learning more from your wonderful work!"
