 Native American Pow Wow at the Autry Museum.
This Young man was in full dance costume for his tribe and carying his sleeping baby as he slowly moved with many other dancers in a circle to the sounds of drummers and singers.
The baby's beautiful sleeping face over his sholder made the perfect Zen shot.

Beautiful colors, composition, and bokeh. Only the two highcontrast spots in the background distract from the subject. With advanced editing maybe that could have been subdued. Wonderful image.

Very good picture. I would have tried a closer crop to get more of he baby into attention. Nevertheless good job.

I think a tighter crop may have worked?

This does not have the overall feeling of peace and serenity that I look for in zen photography.

I really liked this photo, but not sure it speaks of 'Zen'. The baby is precious though, and you did a great job of capturing his stillness.
