nice! very visual piece of art here. having it floating is very clever, as it increases it's zenness ten fold. it is reminiscent of something, but not sure what... 8.

very very nice. the noise level and texture of this shot gives it an almost painted feel; also the lighting is very pleasing. only criticism is that i kind of wished both eyes were equally sharp and detailed; but it's a minor quibble. i love the close crop, the feel of the picture, and the almost smiliness of the face. really cute too. 9.

Excellent stop motion. I like the simplicity and light. In this regard, I believe it is very close to a Zen-like composition. Can I ponder deep thoughts when I look at this? Possibly. Is this quiet and serene imagery? I guess so, since you have 'stopped' any imminent sound and there are no glaring colours or busy lines.

What I mean to say is, imo, for an image to be truly Zen, it would be a scene in which I was able to rest my mind 'visually'. To a certain degree, you have achieved this and that's as good as a 10 for me.

Love the dash of green on overall white background. The float and shadow add to drama. Hope this does well for you.8.

Wow that is a great freeze. This would do well in the stop motion challenge that you didn't know about until this was already entered!

Nice job with the focus and timing. I also like the spotlight emphasizing the marble. Only complaint is the oddly shaped lower light reflection in the marble, but that's kinda unavoidable.
