Congratulations on your 4th place! I too, feel that this should have ribboned. Simple, elegant with beautiful earth tones and well done in every way, including the border and title. I am awestruck by your rapid ascent in such a short period of time. Wonderful work!

Big disappointment from voters... I would have this on my wall rather than third place at least.

Very nice. One of the better set up shots. Great clarity and the colors work well. Maybe a bit big of a border but it wont affect my score. Bumpin gup to an 8 for now.

beautiful title, interesting shot. a little too contrived to fit my concept of "zen photography" but I'm sure it will do well.
Post actions
if this doesn't ribbon, i will stir fry my cat. mind blowingly beautiful image. everything is perfect; particular highlights is the stepped presentation of hands, the lovely complementary background, the lighting, even the border warrants a mention in terms of how well it fits. so creative. even the title is poetic, and surprisingly unpretentious! 10. 15 if i could.

I like everything about this...the lighting, the use of shadows, the composition...well everything.

Over sized border took my eye first, the image in the center is Zen with good lighting....7

8: unique idea and well executed
Post actions
I think I might guess Zen when looking at this image without thinking about the challenge. Great idea and nice execution.
Post actions
Beautifully lit and presented. However, for me, this is more of a visual presentation of items associated with Japanese culture than an image that actually conveys serenity, simplicity etc. That's just my perception of it. Still a great image though.
Post actions
This very much looks like "zen photography" to me. . .and executed to perfection. Clean, sharp, composed perfectly. . .as well as harmonious, simple, peaceful. Way to go!

I can see this appearning in a health magazine. The colours and tones are very gentle. 8.
