I like this image, it has a crisp cool feel reminiscent to the sea breeze the title refers to and I think it handles the very bright natural light well. The focus looks good and I like that the woman is facing away from the camera. I think this does meet the challenge as it is described but I do not feel an inner sense of zen from it so the vote reflects that. Technically well done. I bumped to a 6
the lighting and colours in this is really lovely. it feels contemplative, but happy; there is a peaceful joy here which i think is a lovely intepretation of zen. it also feels so completely professional; a choice shot for any tourist agent. superb - 10.
I wanna be there! Great colors, the woman's dress and baby's dress both blend into the background so nicely. Good choice of colors for the clothes, it really adds to this. With that being said, I don't feel alot of zen in this, although the colors are soft (and in my opinion, one of the things that makes this such a nice photo), and in that softness there is zen, I can just hear the ocean surf interrupting that silence. Anyway, pretty shot tho! Great job from the 'Great Job Baggie'!
This is another of those pictures where I can say that I don't know if this is Zen "style" of photography or not, BUT I don't even care about the style for this one. I'm simply stunned by the beauty of this photo. The soft focus, the soft feelings and soft (not harsh) colors are so much in harmony. Whichever resort puts this on brochure would surely gats lots of families in season :) Hope this does well for you. Adding to my favorites.10.
This is such a beautiful photo! I love the softness of the whites and the colors. I don't know much about zen photogtaphy, but this one most certainly speaks peace, simplicity, beauty. Great job.
