Konnichiwa, TL-members!

Today, I am posting my 100th contribution to TrekLens with my self-portrait , which I took in Tokyo at Senzoku-ike pond. The autumn season was at its high during those days in Tokyo, and as I am a great lover of Nature and its beautiful colors, I tried to snap myself (in off-center position) keeping the colorful tree in center, which is located at the premises of this lovely pond.

With this, I thank you all for your kind cooperation, helpful critiques, wonderful suggestions and valuable comments in improving my skills in photography. I'll continue posting my work in the days to come and hope to get active response from all of you, like as you did till date :)

Hope you like the Japanese Autumn :)

Sayonara!

my very best regards,
Paras

Bonjour Paras.
Voilà une image bien sympathique qui fait plaisir à voir et qui dévoile le mystère des personnages qui se cachent derrière les photographes.

Hi Paras,
well presented post and the 100th is so exciting.
Beautiful colours and beautiful texture of the tree bark.

Hello Paras,

Congratulations on your 100th post.
You have achieved this very quickly and am sure you will continue to please us with many more of your excellent shots.

We love to see photographs of fellow photographers. This is well composed with the textured tree as a natural frame and you, as the happy focal image, in a strong position within the frame. The rich foliage of the tree makes an interesting b/g.

Have a good day,
Bev :-)

dear Paras,
once in my childhood, I lived at Ikegami very near Senzoku-ike in this shot. of course many times I visited there.
"Sen-zoku" means "wash legs", and about 700 years ago famous priest Nichiren visited there and he washed his legs this "Ike=Pond", it is the origin of this name.
anyway, nice colors of autumn, and nice portrait shot of you.
congratulations on you 100 th. post!
