Great clarity in this picture. I love how well this building is reflected in the water due to the calmness. The reflection is as great as the picture. It sounds lime you were lucky to have a chance to take this shot. Congratulations!

Comment from Gail Ross


Magnificent. The tree branch on the right balances the whole setting. The shadowed reflection in the water adds to the allure. You found a jewel to capture. Did you know in Japanese architecture the curves in the roofs are different for different eras?

Nice lighting and lovely colors. I love the architectural angles as well as the darker toned reflections on the water's stirred and rippled surface. This looks like a very serene place.

Beautiful and so peaceful looking. What camera and lens do you use sir? Excellent clarity, love the few branches of the cherry blossoms in the foreground, nice blue sky and reflective water. Thanks for sharing and hope you are doing well.

A serene looking spot. The architecture is shown in beautiful detail and the cherry blossoms are just icing. I like the colors and the fantastic reflection.

This is indeed a beautiful place, and you have pictured it so well. I especially like the fine reflections you have captured, and also how well the Temple is standing out against the blue sky.

Your photo is of course also nice and sharp and it is such clear and well defined details to be seen in this lovely Temple. I also think the exposure is perfect.

The photo is nicely cropped, and the Temple is well placed within the frame. A truly lovely and well taken photo, and with a very good DOF.

Comment from oldgunny


Love this shot and the subject matter. The colors are great and the way the ripples in the water blur some of the reflection are a real eye catcher. The detail is amazing, the only thing is I wish there would have been more light on the right side of the photo so the blossoms stood out more. But you can't move the sun and it is hard to wait around for it to move where you want it to. I really like your work.
