Description
Sitting quietly on a rough stone,I watch clouds gather in all directions.
A golden pagoda gleams in the sun.
Below, Ryuo Spring, where one can wash both body and spirit.
Above, thousand-year-old pines.
A fresh breeze brings the day to an end.
I long to walk with another who has left the world far behind-
but no one comes.
- Ryokan, 18th century CE
Edit, happier with it now

Great capture, doesn't really resemble a HDR image, which means in my opinion you have pulled it off very well. No under, or over exposure anywhere that I can see, and the colours, and composition is really nice. Good job mate!

Thanks, that's always my intent not to resemble what has come to be known as "that hdr look". I hate those. For that reason I stopped calling my photos hdr, which is unfortunate because it used to be a good name but these days it's almost an insult.

Perception, technique, and fine tea, other than that it's as miserable as any other
