I'm not quite sure how this will fly with the DPC gang. I'm not sure the two little birds are enough of a focus point and thus will probably get voted down, but should be interesting.

For me this could have been improved by cropping the bottom. Just my opinion and obviously you have intentionally chosen to leave it in (photography is so subjective...), but otherwise I love the tones in the upper portion of the frame.
I like how you work on this picture and I love it, but as minimalism the bird is probably to little but the picture in general is so good that one might not dwell too much on that issue.
Meets challenge definition. 0 don't want to sound mean here but if I didn't know what the rules were I would say this image is about the clouds.
Meets definition of minimalism. 10 I believe this image puts in simple visual terms what sea and sky can say to the viewer.
Technical. 4 Not enough clarity on the ocean horizon and lots of artifacts.
Artifact. 8 I love this image and only wish it had the detail mentioned above working for it. I like the mino tone color and admire anybody who can get a striagh horizon line. If I were you I would do a study of clouds.
Average score.....
Very well done photo. Beautiful lighting and composition. Lots of photos with this same concept in the challenge but I think this one is the best execution of the concept.
beautiul photo but I don't really get attracted to the bird as the suject - maybe the clouds are too impressive. Great photo but maybe not for this challenge?
