love the light on the tatami
Matti Sedholm  Yes, I love that light as well. but I can go crazy trying to capture it through the lens. Strange...it really is light that makes up photography, but it is soooo hard to capture it. Thanks for your comment, Jaroslav

Lovely, strong and minimalistic composition Matti!
All the best Anne Lene
Matti Sedholm  Thanks for commenting my photo, Anne Lene. I am glad you like the image. This was a photo I kept in colour for a long time, but it didn't really work. I couldn't see until I converted it to B/W. After that the pattern emerged. I am going back to Kyoto next month, and on this trip I will definetely try to work with all this light through paper that is so lovely in the temples. Thanks again.

A subtle play of lines and light - in am simplified composition - make this a strong B/W image

Matti Sedholm  Thanks! It's really inspiring when photographers like You comment on my work. When it comes to photography I still feel like an elephant trying to dance, so your words are more than welcome.
