Another outstanding compo, the trees are simply magnificent and framed between that dark wood makes it a total eye-delight :)

It looks as if the building has been shaped by nature herself. Great contrast between the fine-grained green and the solid stone, in structure as well as in color, fine picture!

This is even more intriging than yesterdays image, these massive pillars only allowing a glimpse of what is beyond. Splendid.

Great composition...nice perspective...love the contrast. The greens are gorgeous without being too overly saturated. Again, beautiful light.

Nicely framed. The spring green against the dark columns is nice.

This one gives me real pleasure as I've tried such a composition several times at Enkakuji in Kitakamakura.Old wood/new wood...both are wonderful!
