Hi Shez,
I think that Sammie has a point about the frond in the front appearing to block your eye from the image...the tones and the composition are interesting; keep testing those creative waters with your camera, as Ansel Adams used to say, "When I look at a fine photograph, sometimes I can hear music."...well, when I look at your agave images I hear Bach and Chopin...

She was lying on her back with her coat on due to the cold snap we were having. We had just finished scratching and tickleing her tummy, when she stayed just like she is, for ages, while I took some photos. She put her tiny legs up like that, after the tickle, and was quite content and comfortable, I can assure you.

Hi Sherpet.. I wanted to tell you that your plant photos are beautiful. I do think that repetition plays a part in how things score, but not as much as you think with this one in particular. There's a lot of pattern and rhythm in this photo, which don't really gel with the zen no-mind. If the composition seemed less orderly and a little more random, it might have done better. It doesn't make it any less beautiful, just perhaps not quite the right fit for this particular challenge, which was a challenging and frustrating one in which to participate and vote since everyone has such different concepts of what zen means and all of them correct. Don't stop taking photos, k?
