This says sweet, angelic and cute but does not meet the challenge in my book.

A brilliant image, and the simplicity of the feathers in the air is good Zen, IMO the model is to busy,.....8

I saw her before, in gold? She is beautiful but her face seems slightly out of focus, that will probably be a problem for your score. 8 from me

A very pretty portrait indeed. However, I'm not feeling the "Zen" in this. Just my opinion though :)

5: good idea but I think having the girl AND the feather is too much for zen - or perhaps crop so we have her face blowing the feather only?

Lovely, except for the make-up. For this challenge, however, maybe you could have restricted the shot to only the floating feathers ;-)

Lovely model and a great picture. I'm having a tough time feeling zen about it as a viewer though. I think the lighting is great and the composition is very nice for a portrait. The focus seems a skosh soft in some areas and some detail is lost in that respect. From a zen standpoint I find the image VERY busy precisely because of the elaborateness of the girl's outfit. I don't feel at peace or serene looking at the image as a whole simply because there's so much detail in the feathers and the mottled background. That said I think a closeup of the girl's face, blowing the feather would be fairly zen to me. The stillness of the feather floating in the air and the removal of all the extreneous outfit details would simplify the image and that I think would go a long way to giving it more zen. That is of course just my opinion. I gave a 6.

Nice picture but not for this challenge. Too obviously posed.
