The usual, beautiful colors that we can find in most of your shots... The middle part of the image appears a bit edgy as there is so much stuff to be seen... Nice anyway.

What a lot of detail - but the repeating elements in the composition make it calm and not messy. The dark diagonal of the roof and the stairs, the chair legs and tree trunks - there's a lot of unity as well as detail.

I love the different textures of the wood in the foreground - your resolution is so crisp and clear and detailed, but there's a nice softness to the light as well. In short, very painterly.

Great light on this photo. You were able to catch the light from the foreground all the way to the far trees. Great photo showcasing the depth of this area.

simply awesome light and details on this photo. the closest thing to this here would be that japanese tea garden, but wow... I'd love to visit these shrines man!

Love that black space again - it concentrates the direction of the eye and the detail is so much better contained because of it. And the light as usual is interesting and fine.
