Photographer's Note
This is the commemorative plaque attached to a torii (Shinto shrine archway) at a tiny shrine in Yasuda Teien. Yasuda Teien was once the site of a feudal lord's garden but is now a public park & Japanese garden in Tokyo.
The plaque says Komadome Inari Shrine and is dated June, 1958 and signed by its creator.
I deliberately did not straighten the image in keeping with the original scene where neither the torii or the plaque were perfectly straight.

Nice shot, but...you could have moved a few steps to the left which would do two things for you here:
1. Get the subject out of the middle of the frame.
2. Get rid of the bright patch of sky between all the green.
I like the colors and the sharpness. Well done.
Sorry, move the the RIGHT of the frame and not LEFT.

I agree, a nice shot, unusual enough to make you want to really look at it for some time, not sure I agree with Fil on moving to the left though, looking closely at the background, maybe moving to the left would have brought more sky into the shot, only Mike could confirm this.

I like your choise of framing this in landscape instead of portrait. The loose paint, the texture of the wood, the angle of the plaque vs the diagonals of the red beams. Excellent!
