Pen

This is quiet, simple, and fairly serene. Sounds Zenish I guess. ;^) My question is - what is that thing next to the pen? Probably could have gotten by without it. JMO of course. Good luck.

I bet if the pepple was off-centered in this image you would score .3 to .5 higher. Personally, I like shallow DOF shots and this one is good for the challenge. Good luck.

Whispered Drops of Morning Dew

Neat idea, however I think you're going to get hammered a bit for a few things. 1) It's a flower. 2) It's a flower with water beads on it. 3) The color isn't saturated enough. 4) It's a bit noisy.

Don't shoot the messenger. ;^) I've done a flower shot or two in my time. He-he. Good luck!

What Do You See?

Hey. This is pretty cool. Has an abstract feel to it with the geometric lines. I'll bet you were pretty excited to see this develop?! ;^) As for Zen...who knows? Good luck.

Cherish the Moment

This image is going to have a polarized voting scale I'll bet. Some are going to like the soft, muted colors, while many (I think) are going to say it's a bit flat and toned down, lacking contrast. It's a wonderful floral image. I would prefer an adjustment to levels I think and bring up the brightness a little with just a touch of contrast boost. Anyway, best of luck to you in the challenge.

Shadow and Light

I like the feel and tone of this with the simple lines and the background shadow. My eyes are having a hard time finding a comfortable place to rest, like there isn't really any good focal point. How this does ok for you. Good luck.

They look like cold capsules! ;^) You know, the gelcaps... I like the wavy background in the reflection. Nice simple composition. For some reason the image seems a little soft and OOF. Could just be this work monitor I'm using to view it with. Hmmm. Anyway, best of luck to you.

Calmness of the Mighty Wind

On the border of losing the impact with this high-key approach I think. Certainly a nice approach and I like the simple composition. Looks like there are some nice colors available that could pop a bit more. JMO of course. Good luck.

Well, the composition is right on the mark. Nice backlighting and exposure. Zen? Who knows anymore. ;^) Good luck.

Journey Without Destination

Interesting image with the leading lines of the fencing taking you to a blank wall. This setting could come in handy for some "setup" shots in the future if it's available to you.
