Really nice idea, shot and composition. I wonder how the photo would look if the model was wearing something color-wise that set her apart from the wooden guardrails for greater contrast and separation. Perhaps B&W could have helped in that regard as well. Not a complaint really on a very good idea that captures the challenge theme and does so in a very artistic manner. Love the soft dreamy/painterly look to the landscape horizon. P.S. Oh, and thanks for NOT putting tape over her mouth. ;)
9/10 has all the aspects of a good photo. Creative, person, color (not saying B/w isnt bad either), only thing is the colors of the trees could be a little crisper but its all good.
Now THIS shot conveys "silence"! Nicely done. I normall wouldn't want the person right in the center, but it works in this one. It's all about being "centered" anyway, when meditating and the eye just goes right to this person.
One of my favorites in the challenge. To up the score from me I'd like to see a narrower dof (less crisp background), a bit more light on the subjects, umm bum. You've done a wonderful job with symetry to a point, I'd like to have the fence even as well as the arms/hands and the lotus position of the knees. As is it really sends the message of silence
