Didn't know anything about this zen-thing. I think my photo satisfies the challenge description, without the zen-part, 'cause I learned that zen is the transfer of an idea by thinking, not talking/reading etc. Too much nothingness in my photo for DPC, methinks. Well, I like it, and if you do not get my photomessage, it's the bad microwaves from cellphone tower's fault.

I knew I was suppose to look at the photo in more detail - lots of blobs. This is a picture of my swimming pool surface. There were debris and insects all over the show. I had other outtakes, in focus shots, where I had to spend 20 minutes or more to clone out all the black spots. On this one, after making it fuzzy, I was too tired to do the right thing.

I thought this was a great interpretation of zen - unusually restrained, compared with other entries (including mine). Kudos!

Can't imagine this landed at 178'th place. This should have been in top 10! True Zen. Amongst my top picks of this challenge.
