Magical profile, and the image is just perfect, but not sure about the subject matter for zen.....

not sure it really conveys the idea of zen to me, but it's still a sensual classy shot... though it does almost look like the girl on the left is about to dig in her nails to the other ones throat... very elegant shot nonetheless; 7

zen has no glamour
zen is the square
two angles become. 6

This is a well taken photo but I, and this may be my interpretation, but what is Zen about this??

A nice shot, great use of minimal tones, but I don't sense a calmness here, in fact, it's a bit turmultuous for me to look at.

This one is just a bit over the top for me. I realize that there is a story and a point you are trying to make, but to me if I were to just see this image not knowing what the challenge is I would never think Zen. 5

I honestly do not find this photo "serene" or example of zen photography. The reason why I choose to comment on this one is the execution of photo. It is a superb photo and is very well composed. I love the way it communicates the feeling. Technically well executed and lighting is superb. But sorry- I cannot see the relation to challenge theme (maybe due to my own limited knowledge on subject) and giving this just 6 for now. I'd have given this 9 or 10 any given day if this was for any other challenge where is fitted better.
