Photographer’s Note
The Shinkyo bridge in Nikko, variously translated as snake or sacred. The bridge was built in 1636 for the exclusive use of the Shogun and his emissaries. After the shoguns were gone, regular people got to use it. It was recently rebuilt to its original splendor. I'm not old enough to know whether that's true, but it is very beautiful.
I like the contrast between the vermillion that is common in Nikko, Japan, and Asia with the greenery of the nature.
PP was only a contrast adjustment.

This is a superb shot of this bridge. Your POV is excellent ... the composition is stunning. Furthermore, the colours are amazing. All in all, an excellent shot of which you can be very proud. Thanks for sharing.
Best wishes
