auto levels, rotated 1.5 degrees to the left, cropped, resized, usm. saved for the web. Did a little curve work to brighten the road and darken my shadow. Don't really care how this does, Just know where I was and know what I was doing... enjoying my day.

Your title acts as an explanation for what exactly is supposed to be the "minimal" thing in the photo.Though i do like the texture of the grass and the clouds. The sky color is interesting. 4 (because I know it's just a picture you thought could squeeze into the challenge instead of one you went out and took FOR the challenge.)
There isn’t really anything in this picture to keep me looking for more than a couple of seconds. Unfortunately the subject isn't very strong and I would have not noticed it without the title. For me there is no real center of interest in this photo and that is the main thing that is keeping it from being a great photo.
I find the shadow not strong enough to be a focal point, so not meeting the challenge. But I think the clouds do it for you instead, the formations are amazing while still a small part of the photo, my 2 cents worth, cheers and good luck
where is the subject? Ok I see, but I dont think that your shadow is the main point o focus in the photo. It seems to be over powered by the green grass, I think a good photo has to have a dominating subject. For this challenge it was suposed to be minimal, and I think the grass and sky are overwelming your shadow, which creates compitition,which hurts a photo,
I think a few steps forward would be put this shot a few grades higher for me. I think the off-angle road really detracts from an otherwise beautiful shot. The clouds are beautiful and the horizon is nice and level.
