Hello Norbert,
I am always happy to see pictures of Nikko, a place which is difficult to reach, but which is certainly worth to visit. Your picture reminds me many sweet memories.
My son came back from Japan a couple of weeks ago,and the first thing he did was to get married. How about you ?

Hi, friend!
I see interesting asian architecture. I never been in Japan. For me it is exotic photo. Interesting composition.

Bonjour Norbert,
une petite cour ou une petite place que tu nous a intimement isol馥.
Tu maitrisais parfaitement ce D70, on le voit ici, une fois de plus avec cette perfections dans les lumi鑽es et le naturel du rendu des couleurs .
Une vue qui nous replonge dans le traditionnel.

Very best regards.
Daniel.

Hi Norbert,
another good wide-angle compo and the
most informative note!
Btw, how do you manage to remember all
these Japanese names?
Excellent light management and colours,
fine details and filled frame... the only
thing that bothers me here is a quite harsh
change in foliage colour on top of the trees
due to your use of a graduated filter (or is
it a case of that area being shaded by a cloud
at that very moment?).
Cheers,
Robi

Great shot, with lots of subtle details that make it work so well. The use of the graduated ND filter is an example: it really brings out the sky, but I never would have known if you hadn't mentioned it. Nice lighting and the presence of the people really gives this some scale and social context. Well done!

Great architectural shot, Norbert.
I like how the gate's roof towers over the people. Its dark rich colours contrast nicely with the bright blue sky and the sunlight seems to be focused on the people.
Well framed.

Most interesting place Norbert. Impressive buildings in the traditional style captured well in this compo. The filter gives a shadowed effect in the top of the trees but do not disturbe the impression of the place. In overall a well disposed compo.

Hi Norbert,
A temple area within the greens, this image makes me think to Kamakura which was quite similar. Which of both places did you prefer ?
The view is pleasant with a nice sky, a bit cold as it seems. It's not easy to render well these wooden gates, but you achieved a good result imho finally it's busy thanks to the numerous people in the frame.
Have a nice day,
Jean-Yves

Hi, Norbert. You show us typically Japanese architecture in a beautiful natural surrounding. I like how the constructions seem to blend in with their natural environment. The people bring different tones in the picture whose colours are very good.

Delightful comp and PoV, though I do find it a bit overexposed
