There's a strong tension here between the curves of those trees, the wall, and the framing of the photograph. Enjoying seeing your work from Japan.... looks like you had a productive trip!
Thanks... This really was a productive trip, especially considering how little shooting I did (8 rolls only!). As for the japanese aesthetics, it must have been something in the air... Actually I went to some very photogenic places; it would be a shame to come back empty handed.
Thank you both for all your comments on these photos
