This image has a rich dreamy feel to it. The colors are few, the composition is uncluttered by other foreground objects, it fits the challenge well. Beautiful image.
nothing is really in focus here, and I think that takes away from the photo. You had a good composition, just need a better execution next time. Keep it up though.
There is some issues with the sharpness of this image. I believe this image can meet the challenge description as well as the definition of minalism. Artisticlly you delt with the image well within the four side of the frame. You would have scored a perfect 10 if it were not four the sharpness issues as stated. Not sure if it is focusing or noise etc.
This is beautiful scenery! The idea is also very good, not to use a surrounding that is one flat color. I am thinking a bit about the position of the yellow flower, it is not as catching as it could be if you had used the rule of thirds. It is of course better that you don't have it totally centered but I would like it more close to one of the 4 corners, I suppose I would like to see it a bit up to the left. SAlso to have more focus on the flower itself. Still this is a very good picture!
this is one of my top choices for this challenge i love how the backround although consistant has a life of its own without taking away from the obvious subject...a very warming and beautiful shot....
