Stone, Tile, Wood: Myoshinji Temple (妙心寺)

Stu from Kyoto, Japan

Nice compo, and love the contrasting tones of the wood against the dark background. It's both warm and cool at the same time.

Very nice composition; I love the way all the elements (beginning in the upper left) step down leading right into the foreground of your image. There is a strong sense of mystery present in this image.

Interesting picture where we go from one stage to the next one like a travel discovering differents shapes and textures.

Before I even read the title, I thought, "Wow, what a cool combination of materials and textures." Then I read the title and thought, "Of course!" The blend of these "earthy" materials gives the photo a grounding feel to it. Like that temple will be there forever. It is a part of the earth. I know, dorky, huh?

Very nice- the strong horizontals with all those verticals. Then the organic lines of the roof- like icing on top!

Great again. I like that your work has a definable look to it, always most carefully composed.

This is a game for the eyes! There are so many different textures, shapes and lines in it it is like a visual playground! =D)

I like the lines and colors in this photo. The roof lines at an angle, the fence lines vertical, the steps lines horizontal.
