A quiet place to escape to not far from my place. This is where I go when I need to think or escape a few hours. The colors and the perspective is how I see it when I am there.
Color adjustment, brightness, cropping, etc.

Wow, the silhouette of the elephant and hand in the same photo but with a wild perspective the coloring from one side to the other is remarkable.
This is artwork and what I like to see in a exhibits, so great job on this..
This is a natural and lovely idea for the challenge. I especially like the way you have captured the statue in the hand of the other one.
Regarding the composition. There are certian elements that are un-Zen-like, and really dp detract from the overall impression that your picture makes. The branch and leaves from near-by trees add a business that is not serene; this is especially the case where the leaves overlap with the statue.
Regarding the post-processing. I\'m not sure the colouring is that peaceful. Niether black nor yellow are particularly soothing colours.
I think (although I\'d have to see the original to be sure) that you lost a lot of detail in your post-processing. It would have been lovely to see more definition on the statue, especially around the hands.
I hope my comments help and Good Luck in future Challenges!
