| Dude. This is awesome. I'm delighted and surprised to see this get a ribbon here. I'm also delighted and surprised that this is yours. Not that I didn't think you took beautiful photos like this I just didn't think you would submit them here. Glad you took the risk and it paid off. |

Lovely. This got a 5 from me, which is equal to my combined score for the other two ribbon-winners.

Dude, this is just beautiful. I simply cannot believe that it scored a 6.9, especially since it meets the challenge really well.
ETA: I really hope you offer a print of this.

Yep, 0.4 seconds. I did have a monopod, but it was still basically handheld. |

| Way to go, Shannon. I gave two 10's, that ended up in the hands pointandshoot and clive patrick nolan, then three 9's, of which this was one. So you're my high pick of the mainstream shots, which isn't too surprising since this is pretty fringe for a ribbon winner, with its blur and all. I especially admire your willingness to leave the negative space at the bottom. |

This is a lovely treatment of the Koi !
Although I am a fan of digital frames...I think for the simplicity of the Zen challenge, this might have been better unframed...
Beautiful !
Thanks for Sharing

| Voted earlier - this is a stellar shot! Now that I have some time to comment I wanted to say why I love this shot (and favoriting it too). I love the brilliant colors that pop visually off of the blacks & blues of the water. While the Koi fish are not in sharp focus, I love how the sweep and swirl of the motion shows pleasing curves and a dreamy feel. With the movement it is almost like brush strokes. It is very impressionistic - hmmm, impressionistic zen and very well done I might add. This would be a wonderful print to hang on the wall. |

| I just wish the subject (fish) was a little smaller compared to blue background. I really want to see more of blue and the fish in one of the corners. It would really make it my top pick for this challenge. Never-the-less, I still like it a lot!8. |
