A drinking glass that was found in my kitchen. Taken with my Canon EOS 20D, Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 Macro USM, Canon Speedlite 580ex flash on the off-shoe cord, on a tripod. Location was the coffee table in my living room, mid-day. Modifications: curves, conversion to B&W, and resize. Comments very welcome; it's my first submission.

I don't think a macro shot doesn't belongs to minimalism. I believe the subject should occupy a small portion of the frame, instead of a small portion of the subject that fill the frame.

Meets definition of Minimalism, 10pts
Technical, 5pts the rim of the glass in not sharp enough for my liking and there seems to be some artifacts in the image.
Artistic, 7pts I like the placment of the subject within the four sides of the frame.
Create an image where your subject is the strong point of the image, but only occupying a very small portion of the image space. I think you did "MACRO".
