The sakura branch would not have been there. It would be better if you capture the upper roof entirely.

You picked an excellent angle and time-of-day to shoot, but image looks unsharp. In my experience, architectural subjects require a bit more sharpening in post than, say, portraits. I don't mind the sakura in foreground, but would strongly have preferred that you crouch down get a perspective that does not have the branches overlapping the castle.

I also think that branches doesn't help, but sometimes you can't avoid that. Very nice colors from the sunset.

Good photo. I do not mind the bratches much. But I love the sunlight on the building.

Splendid architecture ! and the setting sun (I guess ?) light fits perfectly on it.
I'm not that much disturbed by the branches. You could have framed a bit more on the right, but was it technically possible ?
Anyway, the pic is sharp and I'm delighted by this building, the curves on the roofs, the general harmony of lines. So far from European ones. Thank you for sharing, Willy.

I think the framing is wonderful, Willy, and the branches fit well this picture. The Castle itself is beautiful, well done!
