Dharma at Shorin-zan Daruma-ji, as seen through the green maple leaves

This photo was taken at Shorin-zan Daruma-ji Temple, with the focus set on the Daruma figure through the green maple leaves. I deliberately composed the shot to draw the viewer’s gaze toward the Daruma figure visible beyond the leaves.
