Tosho-gu-Shrine Photo

Photographer’s Note

A little place at Tosho-gu-Shrine at Nikko

Definitely a highlight of a trip to Japan, Nikko is a sacred site located in its own national park in Tochigi prefecture and has some of the world's most beautiful buildings. The main attraction is the Toshogu shrine.

Hi, Achim. The temple is well framed between the trees on both sides which allow it to stand out. The small stone pillars in the foreground add a good balance in the composition - it's a pity there is that white sign which breaks it a little. The light is well managed and the scan is of very good quality.
Have a nice weekend,
Philippe

For a scan of a 1999 photo it is a very good posting. The colours are excellent and the sharpness very good too. .

Olá Achim,
esses templos japonoses tem uma arquitetura bem singular mesmo né. Gosto dos detalhes da contrução, mas achei ela um pouco inclinada pra direita.
Parabéns e Abraço

Hi Achim,

The subject is well frame. The point of view is showing with precision the details and colors of the architecture of the shrine. The colors are enhanced by the light. Have a nice day.
