Dramatic night shot. The viewers eye goes right for the castle...but I see a tiny sliver of moon...good touch, Chris.

What a beautiful capture!!!
Japanese castles are thing of beauty, but this night shot of Odawara-jo is absolutely one of the best, the moon is certainly a great bonus.
Also, I defintely like the image of the moat and cherry blossoms of the castle you posted the other day.
You have really captured the beauty of Odawara-jo in the evening hours, Chris!!!!!

Thanks Nobi! Really glad that you like this one. I hope to visit a couple more castles before I leave Japan. I'm thinking that Matsumoto-jo in Nagano will probably be next.

Hi Chris,
..long time no see.
As I've said before this is such a beautiful image, well composed, perfectly exposed. It's a winning shot anywhere you take it. Thank you for posting this in "to-and-from Japan".
