Normally I do not look at titles, but with the title I assume that the woman is the focus of the shot. The problem is that great beautiful tree that my eyes keep drifting to. 5
The big tree is kind of disturbing this and making this picture not reaching the idea of minimalism. to have just the green and the brown of the water contrasting the colorful clothing of the washers would have made this much better.
Can you just imagine washing your clothes in that dirty water? Such as things we take for granted. This photo tells a story, and that is the best kind of photo. Thanks for sharing this.....
unfortunetly I dont feel as if the person here is the subject, I think the tree (in this image) is the subject. I'd crop everything from the bottom of the tree up, and you would still have been on topic.
This is a neat picture but I think that the main thing that holds my attention is the tree. I do like the use of color to make the lady stand out. The way you have this picture framed really makes that tree look gigantic!
The tree is definately the strong point of the image and the only thing that leads you to the lady is the title. May struggle with score because of this. I would have zoomed in a bit, removing the tree and just concentrating on the bush and the lady. Good Luck.
Lose the border. I guess the intention subject is obviously the people doing laundry, which, if you hadn't told me so, I wouldn't have a clue. It's a good thing that the women is wearing a bright colour, otherwise, the tree would dominate the photo, which it is also almost doing right now, and then this wouldn't be minimalism. I don't think I like this one. I like the idea, but a flat horizon, or a single-sbject that is stronger in the frame than the one here, would suit the idea better, i think. 4
Without the title, I would have ignored the actual subject as just a distraction to a very beautiful, non-minimalist tree. Something more needs to draw the eye to the subject.
