 The sand was stolen from my son's sandbox and the lines were added using one of my wife's Pampered Chef pot holders.

The leaves are from a firebush nandina I planted in the front yard last winter...

This is a very captivating image. The colour tones, the composition is lovely. The expanding circles give a feel of serenity, and the minimalism silently conveys loads!

I really like this one

Finally. Perfect Zen. The movement in the sand, with the stillness of the single subject. Minimal color (and gorgeous color at that). The red against the soft sand color is like yin and yang. You have reached nirvana. So you get a 10. And a favorite. Great job from the 'Great job Baggie'....

This is a very zen feeling picture. I gave it a 9 probably would have gone 10 but to me it wasn't as relaxing enough.

A well-exectuted image of a fairly stereotypical interpretation of zen. Note I'm not saying wrong/ inaccurate.

Stereotypical zen for corporate adverts.

How many times did you repattern the sand to get it just right? ;^) Nice idea, and well executed. Good luck.
