Although I'm now in England, this blog will still feature photos from Japan for the foreseeable future.

I apologise in advance if I'm tardy with commenting on your blogs or returning comments during the week... I will get to you though!

I like how the tree branch frames the washed-out area of the water. And I like the way the washed-out area throws the people into sharp relief. It all conspires together nicely. The photo would suffer from "proper" exposure of the water framed by the bough, I think.
