I agree. The composition is so wonderful. The details are so wonderful. The color is wonderful. I'll just keep staring at it for a while.

I can see why you like this photo - it is wonderful! I've lived in Japan before and always enjoyed the parks and temples. Such good places to slow down and remember what life is about!

I like this picture, the composition and the green of the mapple tree, the bench with the wall behind.

In some photos it is all about one little detail - for me, in this photo, it is the branch touching the bench that gives a feeling that one can't quite describe.

Gorgeous colours and composition. I can see why it's one of your favourites, it just exudes a sense of calm. Very Zen. If you can I hope you'll go back there and take a picture when the momiji turn red.
