That is a well-framed image. With a little editing of colours you could make this one zing.

I think you succeeded and what's more, you came up with a great idea which you can use with multi-layered, multi-photo derived images. The mixture of design and geometry (as in from a human's mind) and so-called 'real life' produces a fascinating image, somewhat surreal. Well worth the shot - now build on it.

Balancing Act

New York City fireman would have trouble doing this. They're built differently. Perhaps the pasta and bagels diet has something to do with it ;-)

One of my daughters has done a 4-week summer course at Brooknic (my nickname for Brooklyn Botanic Garden) for the last 5 years. I get to take her and drop her off around 8:00am and then hang around the gardens before the crowds arrive. During that early morning lull, when the rabbits are running about, last year, I managed to take hundreds of photos of lotus and myriads of butterflies. It was a great learning ground - thrown in at the deep end with my, as then, new DSLR. This year, however, the lotuses have not been nearly as good - even though I am now much better equipped and learned. I think they flowered quite a bit earlier than last year and I have missed much of the colour. I notice the swallowtail butterflies are also tatty, at the end of their breeding season now. Last year it was much later that they showed broken wings. Brooknic is by far one of the best botanic gardens I have been to and so much the better for being succinct. Kew, in London (where I used to live) is grand but vast. Glad to see your capture above. Nice background isolation you managed.

That's a nice verdant lane. Nature's graffiti. A good location with a model.

Going the Zen way

Nice to see you back. Underappreciated - but that's Zen with a capital Z.

Quite a credible photo for the challenge and the title doesn't take away from it. 8.

That's a cold lake. The wood isn't breaking down. Lovely scene nicely photographed.

Your photo does evoke a sense of (New Age) peace. If peace is Zen, then so be it. Bumping up to 8 as I go round once more.
