I love the flatness of this. Vignette is a bit too harsh, though.

Your entry seems a bit small in size - but I like the sepia tone. Very nice in-flight/landing shot!

Greetings from the Critique Club

Hi cyphix,

Not bad for a first entry especially since zen isn't the easiest topics to shoot for. I think you did pretty good in terms of capturing zen quality. The smooth water and the floating rocks are very zen-like. The lighting and color are good but what holds this back is the composition/crop, IMO. The rocks needed a larger space to sit in to better maximize it's zen potential. In this square crop the rocks look trapped and the potential for a leading line to the floating rocks is diminished. Of course not knowing what your restrictions were at the time I can only speculate, but had you been able to use a taller or wider composition the extra space could have given this image more flow, more freedom and a more zen experience.

If you have any questions feel free to PM me.

The rocks seem to float above the water. Don't know if I like it or not.
