great picture but I feel no connection to Zen 5 but a good one for the black and white landscape

Its a great photo but I am not getting any Zen 'feeling' from this shot. It would have worked well in the b&w landscape challenge.

Beautiful landscape but it doesn't say zen to me. (Though this would have been perfect for the black and white landscape challenge)

I love the strong horizontals here. Great effect made by the street with its two dark horizontals around the double yellow, then the sidewalk, wall, etc... Love the bright blue sky well-complimented by the yellow.

Compositionally, I like how the stone part starts in the left side of the frame and leads through the picture towards the right side. There is also a nice balance between the two "open" sections.

Technically, the colors are almost surreal, but in an appealing way. I like the coolness of the white/blue against the warmness of the orange rocks. There appears to be some over-sharpness and this could very well be from resizing to fit within dpc parameters. If you were shooting with a tripod, I am wondering what it would have been like to lower your ISO to as low as it would go, up the f-stop number, and slow the shutter speed down. This would have slowed some of the motion of the water and it wouldn't have been as "chunky" and thus wouldn't have artifacted as bad on resizing.

Overall a good shot, and a good entry for this particular challenge.
