Very beautiful and (my favorite) great light. I wonder what it might look like if you'd walked a little further down to the bamboo gate and shot from there. I don't know how I feel about the snowy bank on the left, and wonder what it might look like cropped so that you basically have the large trees and then the combination of the flat, angled walkway and the flat, curving river as the dominant elements. Just a thought. Thanks for sharing such a lovely scene.
