Whats the Zen without bamboo...??? :) This one really works. I love the b/w treatment and lighting. The play of light and shadow is well captured over a simple subject. On negative side- I think you used something called "selective focus" and did not used DoF control for blur effect. I would have liked more natural looking blur effect on this one which could have been easily achieved using shallow DoF. Still a wonderful picture.8.

Aren't those cemeteries the most noble thing you've ever seen. Just being in one like this makes you feel the gallantry. You captured it very well. I love this photo!!!

i like this very much; the bamboo is a natural link to the zen thing being very far eastern in feel and mood. the softness around the border is a nice touch, and it works exceedingly well conveying an almost dreamlike mental-journey-feeling ambience. the only thing i'm not too sure about is the B&W - kind of makes it look a bit like one of those 10000x microscopic picture of bacteria, which isn't very zen-like. still, it has that BAM! in instant appeal, and deserves to do well. 9.
