Glad this one is over. I still think it looks pretty cool, even though the collective mind says otherwise.

Fixed all the issues with this entry, based on the feedback it received. I think it's perfect now.

Done. Thanks for the suggestions.

Yes, I understand what happened here, I think. I didn't place my subjects on a set of crosshairs. I do find I use the ROT in a more subtle manner, which usually is a good thing in other challenges, where strict compliance with that technique is not being evaluated. Thanks for the feedback.

The problem here is DNMC, you know. The sun needed to be on a thirds crossing, as your palm leaves creates more of a half, not a third, in the yin/yang sense, if you know what I mean.
