I like the dead bush thing and the flowers leading up to it. The sky appears kinda blotchy - not sure if this might have worked better in either pure B&W or color.

I like the angle of the hill but feel the tree would have had more impact if you had waited for the cloud to move (MHO)

Nice idea here, but just lacks something, and not sure what.

Zen is all about seeing beauty in simple things. This photo is perfect example of it. It is not easy for everyone to see and appreciate the "basic". Hope this does well for you.8.

Clever - I think I would go and do this again and find only 1 cloud over the tree. Great idea though

It looks to much like a old fashion photo (if this was the effect you were going for: congraulations)In color with plenty of saturation ( and minus the border)I would LOVE it

Very nice perspective. This is very quiet, if the only subject was the tree, however, the ground (although interesting), makes the eye very busy by looking at all the minute details within. For that reason, I'm not scoring it as highly as I'd like.

Great idea and you've pulled it off pretty well. Kind of an 'everything is one' type of zen. Did you have to wait long or just stumbled upon it?
