subarashii shashin desu!
Very, very nice framing indeed. I am one who looks at the ‘pieces of the puzzle’ of a photo. The pieces are I see are the nice gap from little island to left side of frame, allowing a lot of the branches of the right hand tree to compliment the frame, getting the top of the shrine in the reflection below.
A perfectly weighted wide angle shot. Congrats on a well deserved feature.

I photographed the bridge at Byodo In and the 1,000 torii of Fushimi Inari but this is one gem that I missed. You have captured the setting so wonderfully.
