I saw this picture (ripped-up) at curbside along a street in Philadelphia. This is a pretty creepy shot, so it probably won't do so well. But I think it fits the bill.

Strange picture, minimalism well maybe but interesting for me, no somehow it reminds me of advertizement of people dying in car accidents but then as a part of a film. So it at least got me thinking;-)
Interesting choice of subject. I think the photo should carry the concept of "curb" more clearly--perhaps a different angle to convey the context--as is, it looks like a seam in the sidewalk.
I fear this will not be granted the attention it deserves. I would only wish that the light were more controlled - this looks like flash - which, don't get me wrong, has it's own aesthetic - but it would give the quality-fetichists less to get at. There's a modernist sentiment here - and artistic philosophy is and should be a strong part of minimalism - which just adds to the impact. The burnt-out edge of the polaroid (?) just adds an edge of pathos. Marvellous, marvellous submission.
That crack in the ground is distracting. It feels more like you are splitting up the photograph into two. Don't feel a connection between the upper 3/4 and the bottom 1/4.
