I am wondering, am I in a dream?
We spent some days in Kyoto, Japan. Timing was perfect for Hanami, or cherry blossom viewing. After witnessing sunset at the iconic Kiyomizu-dera Buddhist temple, we went to nearby Ninenzaka, a charming pedestrian area known for its classic architecture, tea houses & cherry blossoms. Later at night I walked over to Maruyama Park, which was quite busy with Hanami. There was no wind, perfect for a reflection shot over a pond.
I processed a balanced and a paintery HDR photo from three RAW exposures, blended them selectively, and carefully adjusted the color balance and curves. I welcome and appreciate constructive comments.
