Does look peaceful. Follows the rule of thirds pretty well but isn't particularly engaging. This may be an instance where breaking the rules would create more interest - limit the foreground to just a small bit of the rock, give her more room to the left and the top (if there's more to be had in either direction.)

You have used the "rule of thirds" well here...

Although I can sense some solitude here, I do not sense any zen, I think it's just a bit too busy to blend in and harmonize with any one element in this photo. Great job though!

I think this is a lovely seascape but I am not feeling very zennish about it as a viewer. I'm not sure why either. Perhaps its the composition.. the model is a very prominant subject of the image, maybe if there was more space and she was actually just a very small aspect and thus the relationship between her and the big big world would make for an interesting zen experience or if she were more to one side. it may also be because I don't get an innate feeling of harmony or stillness from this image and that's mostly because of all the detail and texture the rocks and scrubbrush provide. I'm not sure.. I'm definitely no zen expert so I can only comment on what the image instills in me. I hope this helps. I gave a 5
