Challenge: Zen Photography III (Advanced Editing VII*)
Camera: Canon EOS-450D Rebel XSi
Lens: Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS
Location: Roodepoort South Africa
Date: Apr 15, 2010
Aperture: F11
ISO: 800
Shutter: 1.3 Sec
Galleries: Still Life, Black and White
Date Uploaded: Apr 19, 2010

 Dropped the aperture to F11 to increase the depth of field.
Had soft lighting from the right hand side against a dark background to make it stand out more. Tried to get the bamboo to fit the 3rds rule and also get the nodes in the bamboo to fit the 3rds lines as well.

Bamboo is classic zen fare, I guess. Nice composition.
