This is a picture I took of Kinkaku-Ji (the Golden Pavillion) in Kyoto, Japan. It's even shiner in person than it is on film. This picture was taken on a gorgeous October day with a Sony DSC-P200. This is also one of many pictures I took of the temple; I chose to upload this one because of the reflection of the tree and sky in the pond in the foreground. Also, it was hard to get any sort of angle without people in it!

Excellent composition. The reflection is definitely the star of this pic. Can't wait to see more of your pics. Great job!

The natural colours, the sharpness, the subject, the reflections, all the elements in this are really great but I don't think they work together to maximum effect in this composition. With current software, some of it free, you can remove people and other elements from pictures, so we don't need to let their presence decide our compositional choices any longer. I think a wider aspect with a stronger emphasis of the temple and it's reflection would utilize the great elements better.
Peace,

The reflection in the water's so stunning, it makes me want less sky!

I thought the contrast between the red tones of the temple and the green trees were really billiant and i agree that the reflections really add to the shot. Well Done!
