Thanks, Rod, Scott, Penny & Lonnit. Penny, a beer usually will help the outlook, esp. when looking at something that we usually don't see. Rod, thanks for sticking up for me. Us old codgers need to stick together ":^D ... Lonnit, bless you, what a wonderful comment. I guess I can just put the cams away now, having reached such heights (just kidding). Cheers, all, -mikey

I love that the focus is on what's not so important and then as you move more deeply into the image, to where the real subject is, it is just ethereal. I think it's one of your finest pieces, if not your very best. It's brilliant, it's Zen, dreamlike and magical! Flawless entry for this challenge. No, as I look at it, I've no doubt this is your finest image to date. Kudos to you. Consider yourself standing-ovated! This is a brilliant, brilliant, beautiful image. ~ Lonnit

it's my birthday so I had a beer - and I like this one with all the shades and shapes of whites. Penny Street

Almost looks to me like a range of mountains with a thin cloud layer over them. Very Zen like, Congrats. ~Scott~

Mikey doesn't mind you calling his picy a load of ole rubbish YB:-) Just look at the Zen here. Surely not being able to focus on any particular part really helps you go into Zen mode. Mind you a beer helps:-) Nicely done Mikey.

True Zen is apart from focus on any one thing, rather just taking in what is there, .. but message well received. Thanks for the comment, YB. Cheers, -mikey

Michael hope you don't mind me saying, but the pic has my eyes confused, they don't know what to focus on.
