I think it's wonderful -- I've just noticed that photos of children are underrated on this site unless they are beyond spectacular. I think it's something that is more personal once you've experienced it. Whereas it might be just "kids, aaaaahhhhh!!!" to other people.

Thanks for the feedback, I actually did set it up for the challenge, he loves giving her a bottle and it's the most peaceful time of the day because she only gets one, and it's in the morning while mommy sleeps. I thought it would fit well.

Really like the shot !! wonderfully done, excellent PP.
My guess is that the majority voters did not did not see how this fit the Zen theme (mainly simplicity).

I did not vote in this challenge, I would have given a 7 (met the silence part , but not quite the simplicity part)

What an awesome, precious moment.....I'll have to mull the Zen of it......so based on being forced to clear my mind and ponder, I give this an 8.
