Shot in the afternoon with this image in mind, needed the light for the effect as light has no sound, and the quiet of low tide created a harmonious scene of quietness.

Excellent result mate and so pleased with this result.....You know I love anything blue so I just fell in love with it when I saw the thumb nail. MAGIC IMAGE HERE.....
Nice use of minimal color and tone, very calm. The only thing distracting from it being totally 'zen' is the amount of interest in the foreground. Other than that, it's very on target. Great job from the 'Great Job Baggie'!
"WOW" my favorite color, and love these colortones. Also great processing and the compostion is aslo excellent. All in all, I think this suits the challenge very well, and especially love the title.....
As little as I know of zen photography, this photo very much depicts peace, harmony, beauty. I love the still night colors, and the beauty of that massive ocean. Great job.
Beautiful! The frame even fits and this is not something I normally pay much attention to. Love those blues and the fact that you didn't overdo the clouds. The texture in the mudflat is great.
I like it...light is good, but I feel it needs a focal point of some kind...the black section on the left distracts a little and draws your eye there...perhaps if you moved further forward and crouched low, perhaps...just my opinion
