Kinkaku-ji: Kyoto

[that1guy]

It has been a very long time since i posted a picture of mine here. Please enjoy any C&C welcome/appreciated.

Tucked away in the heart of Kyoto. This Ancient treasure just waits for all to take its picture. IT was actually quite challenging to take since we cannot use tripods in the area. there literally hundreds of tourists pushing you aside impatiently trying to snap photos with their,iPhones,iPads,point and shoots, mirrorless,and DSLRS. I compromised as much as i could and set this on one of the beams and set the timer and hoped none bumped my camera.

I like this great processing. One thing I would try to to in post is separate the foreground greenery from the background greenery…. I think this would give it more depth to the image.

Gorgeous! Love the colors. One minor remark, it seems the building is a bit slanted to the left.
