 Hey Guys,
I hope you enjoy my simplistic rendition of "Zen". This shot was taking in natural light. with my home-made light box, compliments to Rob Smith's tutorial. The back drop is a piece of black poster board with a piece of glass placed over it in the foreground. I hope you guys enjoy this image.

Light may be a bit harsh on the center stones, but a good zen-like photo.

Not a bad shot or composition, but it doesn't hold my attention much.

I might have been tempted to use the reflections a little more in some way. Great detail and very well executed!
