Wow what a fantastic close-up, the different kind of shapes and tones really give it dimension, bravo on this very inventive and highly successful shot :)

A beautiful, flowing composition ... the moss and textures and patina create points of interest throughout the scene ... there's a serene sense of gentle ripples on water ...

The textures are fabulous. I took a very similar picture of the roof of a springhouse a while back but never posted it. There is something about the overlapping tiles that the camera loves!

That's something you don't normally see that close. And the Japanese signs (am I right?) in the background add a nice touch!

Thanks fot your suggestion about cropping away the branch. Maybe I followed too much my habit to have a "nice frame". I'll try. This photo of yours has a fine composition, you have to abstract from the roof-idea.

Nice photo! I especially like the colors and shapes, then I see the details like moss and leaves. Also, the lines take the eye into the photo.
