Bruce, I think you might be missing the point of the theme a bit. While admittedly I'm not much of a fan of text on an image (with very few exceptions), I have to say the two-sided playing card feel to this, and the size of the font go in the opposite direction from "simple" or "simplicity".
On the plus side, I do like the blue used, and I suppose the random curly-cues, properly placed, could make for a simplistic abstract of sorts.
The reason why the sunsets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB
I feel like such a dope. I actually tilted my head so that I could read the upper word! Guess what, it is the same as the lower word!! lol. Bruce, good luck in the contest. ~~ John
Think about the photo before and after, never during. The secret is to take your time. You mustn't go too fast. The subject must forget about you. Then, however, you must be very quick.

Bruce, you have a wonderful image here with the soft, serene shades and the gentle curving design...it speaks of peacefulness and simplicity without the need of words...if you don't mind me suggesting, I would remove the words and let the mood of this image stand on its' own...then by all means enter it in the contest...best of luck.
