This turned out to be a lot trickier than I thought. The sand was wet, so when I tried to make the spirals...it didn't work out so well. It took me roughly 45 minutes to an hour to sculpt the sand correctly (even you can still see my finger prints here and there). I made the garden in a cookie sheet and used diffused natural light.

I know it's not traditional zen, but it's zen-like enough for me. Sorry if I "offend" any hardcore, traditional zenners (zennies?) out there. Though I suppose...maybe my photo will relax you enough so you won't become offended. XD

Simple but very powerful at the same time, excellent shot. Sepia really enhances this photo especially the sand.

Lovely still life. Lost some texture in your whites, but I still like it. 7
