Worshipping the light? Putting the statues like you did, makes my eyes switch constantly between the two. I think you put in too much. The candle in itself would've been better, or the left statue with the candle. Now it seems a bit restless. 5 |

The figurines seem kinda evil-looking, which doesn't seem conducive to zen. The photo is a bit too centered. Perhaps have both figures on one side of the candle and leave a bit of negative space? |

This is the first shot that I've seen in this challenge that has any humor to it. How can one NOT smile when seeing these Buddhas. Although I love this shot, and in another challenge, I'd vote it an 8 or 9, the buddhas in this are distracting to the calmness of the candle, which should be the only subject matter. The glass of the blue dish blends in harmony with the black background. As does the candle itself, which hints at an inner glow, and the light from the candle is superb in creating a sense of stillness. I'm giving you a 7, only because of the buddhas' distraction to the overall zen. Great job from the 'Great Job Baggie'! |

Nice idea, would like the little 'buddhas' to be completely in focus or possibly a little more OOF. |

I really don't know that much about zen but I think the two figures are distracting. I think zen should not be like this. I'm not sure. I think the image has interesting qualities though like the dark background and the composition is good. |

Would have been more dramatic without the figures |
