How could there be a Zen topic without this picture...Zen's home. Good job with rule of thirds and lighting.

interesting subject but it seems way over saturated. and cropped a little too low as the top of the left building is cut off.

The composition here is very good and I like the contrasts of the greens and the red. The foreground green, however, appears a bit overexposed/too bright.

Although Zen would give the illusion that an Asian-inspired theme would be the ultimate example, for me, this is just too busy. It demands too much of my interest, wanting to view it from corner to corner. The leaves on the trees are very busy for my eye to focus on the overall serenity of this photo.

5: I see your idea but this image is too busy for me for this challenge - perhaps its the bright colours
