Very nice. Excellent compositions in these 2 images. I would probably leave a bit more space on the top in no. 3.

Thanks Alex, but which two? (of 3)

I agree, but just above was a pathway with people and other distractions. Bloody tourists! Why can't I be the only one there...?
I probably needed a ladder.

Nice pictures Daniel.

Thanks. You're welcome. Japan is wonderful place to visit. I do recommend getting out away from the usual tourist places. There are many great places where you don't see any western faces.

Being on a regular tour limits the ability to pick your timing. There were a few times I saw wonderful golden evening light from the window of a bus. But I definitely saw much more than I ever could on my own.

#4 is best for me, the others need more space in the crop. Have been to Nippon numerous times, and autumn is just spectacular for colour!

Ozi.

Love number two. Gorgeous photo

Thanks Ozi.
As noted before I was fighting geography in one shot. For the other shots, I find I get cramped shots when I shoot portrait orientation. I don't think I've worked out how to do landscapes in portrait.
