Snilldar mynd! Ég hefði þó viljað sjá aðeins meira neðan af henni, bara örfáa pixla til að dekkið væri alveg inná myndinni.

This got an 8 from me, but should've been a 10. I love the empty space with the very subtle textures from the brick!

visually appealling image this. not sure about its zenness in its truest sense, but as art it's very lovely. i might have been tempted to go over the set and handle bars with the burn tool (look a bit washed out grey) and maybe shift it along to the left a bit composition wise, but those things aside, it's very nice. i love the large expanse of wall. 7.

Now this is Zen without stones, smoke, water or garden. I love the simplicity of this. The shadows and texture of wall adds to drama. Good choice of keeping the subject small compared to background. I feel a little left or right (basically not in the middle) placement of cycle would have been even better. Hope this does well for you.9.

Very minimal, and the black and white creates a beautiful photo. Just doesn't feel zenny to me. But great job from the "Great job Baggie"...

I really like the composition and muted colors.

Excellent. I like the choice of the vertical negative space. Works well with this composition. I also like the time of day you chose since it allows the bike's shadow to add interest to the image. While I don't necessarily feel anything zen when I look at the image, I do think it meets some of the aspects mentioned in the challenge description. It is quiet, it is still and it is simple. I do wish the focus was just a tad sharper on the entire bike (the front portion looks great), though that could just be because of the bit of shadow on the back wheel. Anyway. I gave a 6

emptiness rides a bicycle
heavy with presence. 7

Would like to see the whole of the bike in the frame at the bottom but I like the processing and certainly says simplicity :o)

To me zen is not the same as minimalism, still a nice picture, the middle looks a little overexposed.

Would have liked to have seen a little more of the bike

I like this a lot. But I think the framing or cropping could have been better. 7.
