Just lovely and you've captured it so well with enough water in front and behind. What I love about Japanese architecture and artifacts/jewelry is they're so delicate and intricate. The red and black bridge is striking.

Beautiful landscape. Such a variety of colors and the red bridge is definitely a standout ! A lot to take in --the bridge, the water, the rocks; looks like a foggy or damp day. Great capture.

This is indeed a lovely bridge, and when it is painted red like this, it is standing out really well. The river and the scenery around looks great as well, and I like very much the perspective you used when taking this photo.

It is also nice and sharp and it is such clear and well defined details to be seen both in the foreground and the bridge. A truly lovely and well taken photo from Japan, and with a very good DOF.

You are more than welcome.

Great photograph! The cropping is great, the color of the bridge really captures your attention and are those fall leaves on the left side of the bridge? The water ripples make me think I can hear the water while standing by the bridge.

Great capture of the scene. The misty background behind the bridge is a wonderful capture pushing it forward quite grandly. Great natural color and fabulous focus. Wish I could have a walk or two over this bridge. Wonderful, thanks for sharing!

The colors of the take are some of the richest tones I've ever seen, especially and of course the bridge. I don't think that shade of Red exist anywhere else on earth.

Your camera technique is flawless. Super detail fills the screen. The DOF continues past the bridge and into the mist - excellent eye appeal.

The framing of this composition is post card perfect.

A very pleasing take ... B-)) Bob

Whoa! What a great scene Fred. The composition is so well done and the colors, ever so slightly muted by the fog (I am guessing it rained recently) and the disappearing background make this such a nice and tranquil scene suitable for framing and hung proudly in any home. Well done Fred ~ Steve
