Where I Find Peace.

Wow, these are some saturated colors. For my taste, it's a little much because I'm looking for calming images in this challenge. I think with a drop in the saturation, particularly the green, this would be lovely. I love the composition!

The burning is a little much for my taste. Sorry. I do like the pink-yellow colors, though.

Apple

You've achieved fantastic tones in this image. Also, there's beautiful simplicity without being boring. I'm glad there's a little shininess on the table to contrast and offset the flatness of the apple. Sweet.

The Fortuneteller's Window

While I enjoy the mystery of the candles in the window and not knowing what that wheel thing is in the center, this seems a tiny bit too complicated for a zen image (to me - hope you don't mind the comment). The parts I react to most are the partial flower on the right, the horse shoe near the flowers, remote control or telephone, and a feeling of imbalance from the empty space around the bottom compared to no empty space at the top. What I like is: the candles (already mentioned), the colors (BEAUTIFUL colors of blue on the window frame!!), and the clarity. It's a very nice effort and I really hope my comments are helpful. If not, please accept my apologies. Wait: Another thing I like is the curtain in the left - it adds to the mystery and life :-)

Very zen-like image in my opinion. The mist is so soothing, the reflections in the water lovely, and the tree branch framing the top keeps me there, freezing my a$$ off on that cold, damp bench. <--- just kidding about the last part. It looks very nice!

Ooooooh, this is beautiful! I love the tones and above all, the balance made by the space between them. Great job!

Wow, Kryta ... NICE job! I am the person who gave you a 10 on this and you know what? It was the only 10 I gave in the whole challenge! I gave lots of nines, but only one 10. Cool, since I see from your profile that that is how old you are. Hope you keep up with photography because you're really good! The most important thing is that you enjoy it, but it looks like you must've had fun with this shot. Yay for you! I'll be looking for future challenge entries from you.

Wow, wonder how people felt about the border, heehee ;-) I gave this an 8, which means I'm surprised to find it back here. The dof is really great, as is the clarity and the meeting of the challenge. It looks like this fence goes on forever and ever - really nice!

I gave this a 9 - it was gold, and it was beautiful in my eyes and on my monitor. I'm a sucker for swirly water reflections, though. The colors really are exquisite. Nice job!
