This is one of my favorite places . This lonely driveway is flanked on either side by these lovely willow trees. It is a very peaceful site and as the title suggests very symmetrical. I think it works for the zen challenge. Thanks to my model (daughter) for braving the morning cold and helping me with the shot. I had to pay my daughters by buying them a big breakfast, where ironically, I was almost involved in a drunken punch up with a couple of redneck bums. Not very Zen like.

Another great shot. It's nice to see really high contrast b+w images with blown out skies doing so well here now.

I was almost involved in a drunken punch up with a couple of redneck bums... until i ripped off my shirt to show them my P90X tattoo. That shut them up. :)

This is a stunner-Absolutely zen and the straight road lead the eyes deep into the image. The soft treatment and B/W makes this even more exotic. Hope to see this at top- Good luck

centered comp works very well here - it focuses us on her focus

That forward more left tree leaning so heavily makes it feel like the whole image is tilting to the left. Really like this though, nice work
