Extra points for groaner pun. This may be a corny shot (and title) but I also see some grain in your photo. Maybe try a little noise reduction next time. Great lighting.

that's a great looking kitty.
and a well choosen crop.
the only negative is that the focus seems to be a little soft on the eyes.
I think that in a portrait this close, then the eyes have to be really crisp and clear.
apart from that, great job!

I think this is a nice image but I don't feel the connection to zen in a personal sense nor as described in the challenge. The rushing waters don't speak to me in a whisper of serenity or harmony at all. Its much more of an excited and action-filled image to me. I also find the branches in the foreground to be rather distracting. Your whites are a bit blownout in some areas but with bright natural light that can be tough to control. I like the play between the rock and the water and I like the way the shadows add some depth to the rocky part of the landscape. I wish the shadows were a bit more defined so that depth was more pronounced. To be completely candid, I'd find much more zen if the only thing showing was the lovely organic shapes of the rock, perhaps with the cracked one in the center and no branches showing at all. Still zen is a very personal perception and everyone is likely to see something different. I gave a 4
