Cool. We went to several temples when we were in Tokyo. I'll ask my wife and friends if we seen this one, if they remember.

Today weather was bit crappy, cold and strong wind but i managed to go out and get some photos. The coolest part was getting images of flying swallows, tricky little birds

Love all the lines.

Hi David,

Cheers - appreciated!

That shot (and the one looking from the opposite end) sold themselves - as is often the case, this place was designed to impress and it certainly does.

Hi funjp,

You've served up a feast for the eyes here with an absolute treasure trove of interest for any viewer - it's almost impossible to pick a favourite (though, if pushed, we'd go for the B&W/ Colour treatment - very nice!).

Well done indeed and thank you very much for sharing these here...

Hi Bartosz,

A terrific series of images here, with excellent sharpness and detail captured throughout - the BIF are absolutely masterful (with #3 being our favourite).

Well done and thank you for sharing - keep up the great work!

Yet another black kite. When there's nothing else to shoot, the dependable black kite will always show up.

Thanks Phil . The performance pictures are more like snapshots , as I didn't know the play . I only realized there would 4 performers around 10 minutes before the performance . It's less complicated to get a good picture with only 1 performer . Anyway , I also liked the picture with the Geishas . I was concerned about posting it because I didn't want to give incentive for other photographers to do a paparazzi thing in Kyoto . There's been quite a backlash in Japan about such issue . Those Geishas were participants in the temple's ritual's parade in the Tokyo's streets adjacent to this temple . Selective color treatment in Photoshop is a bit of a cliche , but in such a crowded shot , I didn't see any other solution . Even if I used a shallow depth of field , I guess I still wouldn't be able to isolate those 2 Geishas from the other participants in the parade . The Geishas' photo is still a work in progress . I want to see how it looks printed .

Hi David,

A spectacular 'last resort' to have available - beautifully captured with the perfect pose, flight feather detail and a subtle touch of eye catch-light.

Thank you for sharing...
