This is the view of the pond in Showa Kinen Park's Japanese garden, as seen through a red parasol.

Certainly the first of its kind I've seen when it comes to a Japanese garden perspective. Really original! Adding it to my favourites.

I like how you composed this shot. There is a parallel that exists in this shot between the red found in the man-made parosol and that found in nature in the red leaves adorning the trees. I really like this shot for the composition of objects in the shot are aestheticly pleasing not to mention the color hues of reds and greens just grabs and holds the eye's attention. However, I do think there is one thing that would have made the connection to the man-made parasol and the trees in the background all the more stronger. Moving back to get more of the red parasol in the photo composition (say just a little more to show the curve of the umbrella on the right hand side) would strenthen the image of equatingthe canopy of the parasol to the canopy of a tree. Not to mention it would also introduce another interesting feature for the eye to follow - a shape - the curve of the umbrella.

The framing works well here. I also enjoy the colour parallism between the parasol and the red in the nature.
