What a great composition! Such a beautiful green from the tree which shows us the direction from the right side to the left. The natural tones fit very well.

Magnificent! Such a beautiful composition ... I've just sat here for the longest time taking it all in. The massive scale in the foreground is, then, balanced so beautifully with the delicacy of the chartreuse new growth in the courtyard. While I am absolutely amazed by your use of color and texture, here, it is your mastery of capturing the light that sings to me with this shot!

A beautiful composition, I feel those green trees are reaching out across space and time, it is both highly spiritual and naturally magnificent, a masterpiece.

I really love it when you compose frames within frames like this. Like Ozu (my favourite Japanese director), there is often a terrifically deep background to your compositions. The nested frames help us telescope our senses, encouraging us to really perceive more than we otherwise might in a passing glace.

Fantastic Japanese composition, well done, I love the way the light green horizontals combine with the dark stone verticals, on a light grey floor. Even the ripples on the roof play their role. Beautiful!

The fresh vitality of that green is so compelling against that dark shadows and timbers here. A very well judged shot technically and artistically.

Beautiful image. Nothing new to add that hasn't been said before, except that I love how you captured the light and shadows on the wood along the right side of the frame.

I especially like this photo, highlighting the gorgeous spring green of that fabulous tree. Very nicely composed. I like how the tree is framed. This is my favorite of this and the next 2. I also like the contrast between the dark, smooth texture of the column and the light, airy texture of the tree leaves. (I somehow got behind in viewing your photos, and am slowly catching up.)

Lovely composition! The "through-the-window" effect is very pleasant to the viewer!

Wonderfully exposed. I love those trees, they're really set off against the dark wood structures.
