This says more about the masons than zen

owen-b said 441 days ago:

Well that's the beauty of subjectivity isn't it? :)

See, to me this is the calming influence of hundreds and hundreds of years of history in those walls, looking down on a sole reader as she walks through the empty back streets of Barcelona. I certainly found peace there. Must Zen be beaches and sea all the time?

Cheers.

Seems to be doing her own unencumbered thing.

solitude, contemplation . . . or is it oblivion? (i don't really get 'zen' here)

bioLarzen said 441 days ago:

I dunno, it must be me, but I just don't feel the calm and peacfulness that I know I should. Maybe the texture of the stone wall is just too strong?

Everything else is just great with this one though!

All of the breaks of this shot (the line under the window and the walkway) make my eyes wander all through the shot, and not relax.

owen-b said 441 days ago:

Whatever. Seems to me like it's a theme better described as "Bugger all in shot, ideally a tree or a leaf"...

Moce composition, but not too zen-like for me.

beckn32 said 441 days ago:

Sorry, that's "nice" composition.
