Photographer's Note
Kamakura's most famous attraction, the Daibutsu. It is a bronze statue weathered over the years, and is the second largest Buddha statue in Japan. The statue was cast in 1252 and originally located inside a large temple hall. However, the temple buildings were washed away by a tsunami tidal wave in the end of the 15th century, and since then the Buddha stands in the open air.
Feedback welcome!
Edit: Camera was pointed upwards so that people milling about were cut out of the photo. December was a wonderful time to visit Japan as there were few tourists!

Joyce,
You've managed to capture Daibutsu on a great day, just look at that sky! I would have been tempted to frame differently, and included the statues feet (as opposed to empty sky above him). I would also have put the statue at the left of the frame, looking into the right hand side. Where there no people there that day?
