The torii is visually strong enough on its own; you don't need to frame it with the stone on the left, which is just distraction, since you can't really figure out what it is or why it is there. The bit of foreground branch and the far shore give you all you need to place the main subject. In the image below (and begging your pardon), I removed (very crudely) the rock, recropped to emphasize the gate, and fiddle the color a touch by subtracting some green and upping the saturation. But everyone here 'sees' in a different way and so processes their images to their own eye alone, which is what I have done here. I certainly make no claim to be more than passing good at it and others may snort and offer a much better opinion. [ATTACH=full]103102[/ATTACH]The ferry doesn't bother me at all.</blockquote>
