May 2023 - Cherry Blossom at Kyoto Japan
About the Image(s)
This image was taken last month in Kyoto at the famous Philosopher's Path. It's the yearly Cherry Blossom season there and there are so many tourists from all over the world. It was taken with the Z7 and f2.8 24-70mm lense. Both LR and PS were used as my normal flow to enhance the image.

John, I did two mods to your outstanding image. The little building / fence in the lower left I found to be a distracting element in the frame. Also the sky was just a tad bright. It must have been breathtaking to walk this path under all those cherry blossoms!!! Great eye John. Posted: 05/06/2023 07:01:34
Good points. Thanks! Posted: 05/13/2023 10:57:36
Great image. The cherry blossoms and the lines created by the water and walkway are impressive. I do like Tom's option for tweaking it a bit. Posted: 05/08/2023 16:31:31

John, this is a very nice image and you captured the details of this particular place beautifully. I agree with Tom's suggestion. Another picky consideration is the person at the very end of the paved trail. I think the image could have been stronger if that person was a little closer to the lens. I think the position the person make this element almost lost in the contest of the image.
Well done

It's hard to post process tree leafs in the sky. It's better without sky like this. Thanks. Posted: 05/13/2023 11:01:34
