Really Nice!!!!!

I Love it...very creative shot.

I LOVE this one!

Frozen? It's just a little cold! lmao!!! hehehehehehe
I can say that cause it was like 72 here

I like this but would crop to portrait imo..

Allow me to say that you are wrong.
This is not only different from all the other entry's but it shows great creativity & photographers "out of the box" look / eye.
Even if you shoot it like this or crop it like this it's still a different take of the theme!!!
Extra points,from me at least for seeing it the way others didn't.
Good luck.

Congrats Elke, I missed this contest. You did such a wonderful job, rich in details, and you should get more points for the thought you put in and the research on mandala .

This is quite beautiful, you did some good research. You achieved 'different' quite well, author. Good find on that compass, too!

This one really drew me in!! I had to look at it over and over....Fantastic job and Best of Luck

Extra points for the dragon and frame hardware, nice one

wow! Amazing! THis has so much to look at.

Very nice work.

Nice image, my only nit pick or hmm.... so to speak is why have the white tiger which is known for being in an arctic climate on the fall piece of the pie, and the turtle for winter? Also why not spring for the bird and summer for the dragon? I was just wondering the logic behind the animal placement, on what seems to be a very well thought out piece.

Great job ! Very well done

Looks like you put a lot of thought in to your mandala, well done.

True mandalas (of the Buddhist type) are not symmetrical, per se, although they are balanced...

This is a very thoughtful and creative effort. It shows true consideration of the topic, and is quite lovely.

Good concept. If you make this symmetrical it will be a mandala.

Fantastically created! Excellently thought out!

I like this, makes me smile =)
