Description A tea house on the grounds of a pretty shrine complex in Otsu, Shiga ken, Japan.

[EDIT] I decided to revisit this image as the previous version was really quite uninspired for such a magnifcant place. Hopefully I can sneak away from the group and visit here again in Janurary, but I doubt it I can also see how much detail was lost using my old camera vs my new one..[/EDIT]

I hear that I lived in Japan for 2 years when I took this photo and all that time I was shooting on Jpeg :/ Before Japan though, all over the world but no camera.

That looks both very interesting and also a tiny bit spooky, I bet it would be at night but I still think it looks cool. hope you are able to retake this photo when you get the chance

perhaps if i were to stumble upon this place in the woods, id stay forever.

perspective , position and angle are good.
i enjoy the darkness and murky feelings from the colors.
maybe you could snap one with a punch in the face foreground object ( even a tiny gentle punch is nice sometimes)

great image!!

Simply amazing! I think it has an amazing atmosphere and depth. love the darkness of the colors, the ruggedness of the environment and shrine! This would make an awfully nice poster i.m.o.
