The Viridian Method is a form of Energy Therapy. It starts from a belief that everything is formed at a foundation level from energy. When this energy is perceived from an “energetic perspective”, it is understood that it exists in an infinite array of “states”. By introducing the concept that the two hemispheres of the brain can act “holographically” to better understand this “energy duality”, the Viridian Method Practitioner alters the energetic state of their client to create new realities and states.
A group of enthusiasts that I pass each morning while excersice walking just after 6am.
Had this idea that energy fitness was an alternative medicine, Asked if I could photograph them for the challenge and they agreed.

Very Original. Had me searching Google to see what it actually was. Composition could have been a lot better but it meets the challenge and its original and that means more than composition in my eyes.

I like the idea and it is really focused, but it sort of just looks like a snapshot.

Ok it seems I can see water through the trees, You have a great area around and yet you chose this area. Personally I would have taken them to the beach and captured the water behind them. Also, minus the extra items around them they are very distracting.

The concept is very creative and I admire that you offered a unique point of view to the challenge. I did not know what Viridian Method was until I Googled it...before that I thought it was a shade of green.

I think you could have spent some time thinking about how to visualize your concept in a photographic sense that would appeal to the viewers emotion - but then, it's not a common theme; you had a real struggle to show this theme. IMHO it turned out to be more of a "snap shot photo" than a well thought out interpretation of Alternative Medicine. Additionally, I don't like to vote down a creative approach because the photo wasn't slick and sexy like so many we compete against...5
