I'm certain the shutter went off accidentally...wonder the significance of the leaves? best...jerry

Fantastic mood. The outline of the maple leaves is a great bonus.

good thing you didn't resist !! 5*

I won't tell. Lovely image and the two leaves complete the intimacy. Nice work!

Excellent shot. Great combination of the shadows and light, and the two leaves are the finishing touch.

You have created a wonderful atmosphere in this shot GJC! Warm and inviting with just the right touch of forbidden! Well done! ;-)

You shutter when off by accident, just to show the world the beauty of the temple... divine guidance. I would so be with you, what a beautiful shot - the lighting the maple leaves. Perfect. I would place this in a folder for your best of 2010 collection!

Wow, bad gaijin ! I can see the shadows waving... Nice shot.

Nice shot!
I often find those 'No Photography' signs quite useful to rest my pocket-cam on in low light situations :-)

Beautiful image. Fortunately you made an exception to your law-abiding behaviour.

This creates a wonderful mood, with harmonious colours and great silhouetted shapes. I don't blame you for breaking the rules.

Beautiful play with shadow. The maple leaves and the line on the bottom sort of look like a face!

Wonderful colours in the light.

Fantastic!A universe full of poetry. I like these two small leaves!

Like this one a lot.

I'm glad you did. It's gorgeous.

Moody ... shadows ... gentle color ... frame. NICE

You are such a rebel but I think it was worth it!!

Beautiful light on the paper door, the two maple leafs really make it work. Sometimes you just have to get the snap, even if you're not supposed to.
