The soft focus is fine to express the spirit of the image and I like how the trees bends or curves in parallel to the gyu. But it seems a litle underexposed and the colorsaturation isnt very strong.
It´s an ok image but why have it so small?
Great idea. I was hoping someone would go with meditation for this challenge. well shot! My only suggestion for future challenges is to try to fill up as many of the 640 x 480 pixels you're allowed to use. You may find looking in past challenges that smaller images rarely do well. Good luck!
