Composition photo combining Daruma looking forward and background scenery at Shorinzan Daruma Temple

This photo was taken at the Shorinzan Daruma Temple. I tried to capture the Daruma in the foreground looking forward as if gazing at us, with the background scenery and depth in mind. The composition is designed to guide the viewer's gaze. The daruma of Shorinzan Daruma Temple, lined up in a row in the main hall, are impressive subjects with strength in their serenity, and each has a different expression and texture that is photogenic, The appearance changes with the time of day and changes in light, making it a recommended spot to visit in each of the four seasons and enjoy photographing as many times as you wish.
