I love the vivid colors in this image and I like the contrasts between the sky and the grass but I'm not really getting a zen feel from the photo. I think it is a nice landscape and it certainly has some aspects of stillness since its rather wide open, but the very things I like about it, the extreme contrasts in color, texture, etc between the sky and ground, make it much 'noisier' than I would think a zen photo would have. Again this is just my opinion as a viewer. There seems to be a bit of either over saturation or something else because the colors though nice and vivid do have a strange quality to them, not sure what. I also am not at all fond of the border. The bright color of it really takes away from the shot and puts it at the forefront rather than the landscape it is bordering. I gave a 5
