I was reading the Zen thread and saw this picture in the very first post; it is an amazing and perfect example of Zen photography. This picture is so calming and naturally beautiful. I'm very new to photography, so I hope you don't mind me asking, but how was the absolute clear white background without shadows achieved here? Again, lovely photograph.
I really like this one! The colors and textures flow and the patterns on the rocks are visually appealing. I think you did well with the negative space and border. Well done.
It seems many of the better images in this challenge err on the side of minimalism. This one definitely fits the bill. I love the crispness and natural colours here. One of my top scoring shots for sure.
Clean and simple. Very interesting stones of different colours, shapes, and texture used. The loose composition with some empty space here looks nice, it sorta leaves some room for freedom in the mind and hence it's rather calming looking at this.
