Zen teaching before the meditation session

On Saturdays I like to join a Zen meditation class at Hakone Gardens, a Japanese garden in Saratoga, California. We meditate in a traditional Japanese house with tatami floors made of straw.

I processed a paintery, a balanced, and a photographic HDR photo from three RAW exposures, carefully adjusted the color balance and curves, reduced the color saturation, and added a pinch of sepia. I welcome and appreciate constructive comments.

Thank you for visiting - ♡ with gratitude! Fave if you like it, add comments below, like the Facebook page, order beautiful HDR prints at qualityHDR.com.
