Greetings from the Critique Club
An interesting and fairly well executed view of the challenge. I especially like the imperfections: the stones that don't make a smooth arc, the not-perfectly-round containers, the slightly yellow color cast, the fact that it is upside-down. They are a great reminder that The Way is not as smooth and easy in practice as it is in theory. This is a universal fact that is true regardless of one's personal or cultural definition of the "Way".
I do wish some of the technical aspects were done better. The focus could have been better, and more depth of field would have been nice. The lighting is appropriate for the subject (harsher lighting would have enhanced the textures and made a more attractive photo, but the shadows would have put too much yin in the yang). But the photo is slightly overexposed, washing out many of the white stones; I find this mildly distracting. Granted, the high contrast of the subject makes this difficult, and perhaps even impossible to achieve without spot editing. |

| Interesting idea, nicely carried off. Would a contrasting element, like water, have worked in place of the rocks? Just a thought. 6 |

| Water and earth would be a better concept, IMO but that aside I like your end result. |

i know this is going to sound really picky but i hate the way the two containers in the middle are not perfectly round in shape.
That aside, it's a great idea and i think it works well |
