| Nice to see you back. Underappreciated - but that's Zen with a capital Z. |

| The lane with no movement screams, while the lane that is moving is silent. Wonderful imagination and capture. |

| This is an interesting photo in the sense that one car is moving one way, while the rest (look at that jam!) are going the other. I'm not sure if the others noticed it, but there are some cars with their drivers out standing, making the traffic jam even more apparent. Good capture. |

| lol. this is like anti-zen. maybe its from living in the south. this says "hurricane" to me. fear, uphevil, tension. even the person alone on the other side of the highway is probably going back for a loved one and not for any happy reason just to end up stuck in the storm in danger. maybe i read too much into things. 5 |

| An interesting interpretation of zen but a bit busy for "zen" to me. |

very clever..and wonderfully done too...it certainly can be considered Zen from the point of view of the driver..
I like your take on this.. |

| this is a marvellously evocative picture. it's only significant problem worth noting is that to me, it doesn't really fit in with my preconceived idea of what zen is. but as a photo, i love it. the B&W is great, the high contrast and dark mood genius, brilliantly countered by the light breaking through the clouds. the vanishing point and angle of shot works very well. and the solitary vehicle coming towards us is the proverbial cherry. smashing stuff (if bordering on not quite suiting the challenge) 8. |

| A little dark but that makes you really look into the image. The sun shinning through the clouds is great but there needs to be a tad more light on the cars and road. Over all this is a very good picture. Gave you a 8 |

| I don't really see this photo as "strict" example of zen "style" of photography but it communicates the "feel" of zen very well :). The contrast between peace and cluttered (mind) is very well communicated. Technically this is very well executed and I like the b/w treatment. Bumping from 7 (initial pass) to 9 (during comments). Hope this does well for you. |

| I like the processing on this shot and I'm impressed at your ability to get just one car on the left handside of the road ;o) Certainly know which car I'd rather be in! I like the composition here too with the central reservation leading from the lower left of the shot, nice :o) |

| I understand what you are trying to show, but my focus is pulled toward the traffic which does not leave a peaceful feeling. |

| Although using black and white to minimalize visual distractions in this photo is a nice touch, it is just too busy to be 'zen'. I know what you are trying to realy in the vision of oposite (yin yang) of this photo, just to me, a highway, even empty, means movement, not calm. My eye is too distracted by the overall business of this photo. |
