Meditating With Open Eyes (in colour)

Firstly, thank you for entering in my Meditating With Open Eyes." contest. This is a perfectly executed photo in all technical ways, there is not an inch of it out of place or that could use adjustments, it's a photo that is meant for a magazine or a huge canvas on the wall. This also gives off a sense of tranquility. I could see myself mediation here for a very long time, mother nature has so many wonderful views to offer and so many peaceful places to sit and meditate. I love that you included the rocks that have perfect cleavage to them in the foreground of this image, it adds extra to the photo and makes a great place to sit. Congratulations on placing 4th in my contest, well deserved!

Firstly thank you for entering in my contest, "Meditating With Open Eyes." This is a gorgeous image, spot on in clarity and leading line composition. Though this also gives you a sense of peace, a place that I could really see myself being able to relax and meditate at, looking out into the distance with the beautiful sun giving off those wonderful warm colors that flicker in between the beams and shine upon your face, then the sound of the water crashing up against the beams and the shore line, the view of the rocks in the sand, trailing up and out also adds a very meditative serine feel to this gorgeous image and atmosphere. I feel as if I am right here in this moment. This image is very serine and so perfect, I would not change a thing. Congratulations on capturing the moment and for winning 1'st place in my contest, well deserved!

Firstly, thank you for entering in my Meditating With Open Eyes." contest. A beautiful photograph, very tranquil, perfect composition and long exposure on the water. I love the colour of the water, it's so very blue and blue automatically puts you in a relaxing state and the sound of water rushing up the shore and back again also is one of those sounds that can really relax you and you can just hear that water by looking at this image. I feel like I am on this beautiful shore right now, watching the waves rush up and back again, hearing the sound of the crashing of the waves. A perfectly executed photograph that really works wonderfully for this contest, there is nothing in this photograph I would change, it is perfect as is! Congratulations on placing 5th in my contest, well deserved!

Firstly, thank you for entering in my Meditating With Open Eyes." contest. This is one of the more unique images that where entered into the contest and frankly I was hoping for more images like this one and was very surprised to see so few. Though very happy to see this gorgeous image that works so perfectly for this contest. When one thinks of meditation, you think of spirituality as well and not just a gorgeous scene. This photograph offers both of those things, spirituality and a gorgeous scene.. I love this image, you have captured the light beams perfectly, the way they shine through the bamboo and onto this gorgeous Buddha statue in a very tranquil way and the statue which clearly is bringing great happiness and a seance of peace. This is clearly a very calming place that would be perfect or anyone who needs spiritual mediation. The only thing that I see in this image that is a bit distracting and overwhelming to my eyes; is the part in the left hand corner of the fence that is very bright and overly saturated in a harsh yellow green. I would have personally tried to angle your shot slightly over to get rid of that open area or maybe taken down the colour saturation of the lighter greens a tad and also adjusted that white point in the shadows and highlights down a hair. But this image is amazing either way and perfect for this contest. Congratulations on placing third in my contest, well deserved!

Firstly, thank you for entering in my Meditating With Open Eyes." contest. A perfect image, wonderful composition and lighting as well as perfect long exposure for the water, it gives it that wonderful soft feel that is very pleasing to the eye. This is a place that I could see myself meditating at, this place offers all the gorgeous beauties of nature that is my kind of place to go to when mediating and the atmosphere is so surreal and very serine. I can just hear the water rushing through the rocks and yet it does not look so rough with the long exposure you have perfectly executed and the gorgeous soft moss upon the rocks also softens this delicate and tranquil scene that you have captured perfectly. Congratulations on placing second in my contest, well deserved!
