Posted by GJC (Kyoto (京都), Japan) on 17 August 2008 in Plant & Nature.

I took this back in the earlier part of the summer but it got lost somehow so I'll post it now.

It's lovely and romantic, very nicely composed, with the bright leaves within a grey day :)

It brings out the essence of Japanese aesthetics and you are quite the Master at this kind of compositions! I just LOVE it!

Soothing and refreshing. I can hear the pitter patter. Love the changing color of the leaves.

I absolutely agree with Japanalia and I'm a bit jealous about what you can see around your home.

Love the colours you manage to get in your images. The Nikon seems to do a fantatstic job, especially with the greens. Love the strong compo here too.

I like the sprinkling of different colours, but best of all is the wonderful contrast between the top and bottom parts of the image, its very striking in texture, tone and intent.

Really a nice picture. I love the details of the roof with the mapples leaves starting to get red and covered by rain droplets.

I'm having a hard time with what to focus on in this one. Usually your shots that are similar to this are abstract so that the layering is pleasing without a focal point. I think because the leaves are so distinct, and there is so much detail in the black that I can't just enjoy the abstraction...
Does this make sense?
