it does have zen qualities, this, though the rocks, what with there colour, texture and shininess, d look a bit like a row of poos, which isn't very zen. i do wish the candles were a little bit closer too, i think that would add to the ambience a little bit. 6.

Great interpretation of zen, but the white things in the background and the towel are distracting. Also the rocks don't seem quite sharp. And last but not least, the skin color looks very unnatural.

Totally zen. Totally ten. Great job from the "Great job Baggie"...

Lighting is a little harsh, a little overexposure on the rocks, would have been a good idea otherwise...

Excellent Zen, good skin tone and lighting, like the moisture of the skin in this image to blend with the stones....9

I can find zen in the way the rocks line up and contrast the curve of the body, I also like the tones between the rock and the skin. I don't really like the candles. While they help set the stage of the image in general I don't find them to add anything to the zen and in fact I find them distracting me from the main subject of the rocks. I would love to see this with a more balanced image of just the body with rocks on it, no towel/material on the hip and no candles on towel/material in the background. Just black, curving skin, line of rocks and more skin. I think the lighting is a bit too harsh for the image, maybe something a bit softer would give an added glow to the skin, or if not softer more of a fill from the lower hidden shoulder area.. I'm not sure. The focus isn't completely there, so if that could be a bit more clear I think it'd really make this image pop. I really like the idea and potential of this shot and while it isn't spot on for me, I think its very nice. I've bumped it from a 5 to a 6

I like the curve of the body and the positioning of the rocks but the white cloth? with three dots in the B/G is a little distracting. 7
