Yes, you have reached zen my child. Great minimal photo in every aspect. Subject and slope of the ground maintains interest without too many details to break up the overall sense of zen. Great job from the "Great job Baggie"...

I love the tree, but I find the spots caused by the clouds a bit distracting. Makes this a 9 instead of a 10 for me.
