Well, this is not what I would call Minimalism because I can see too much of the blade. On DPC, however, anything this dark might be considered minimal. Your title is also against the spirit of Minimalism, imho, as it speaks to the metaphorical implications of the blade quite separate from any quality being conveyed by the image.
Thank you for taking the time to answer my request for your thoughts Don. I agree about trying to reduce the amount of visible blade but I was struggling with the lighting and PP while attempting to keep some recognition of the subject.
As others also commented on the long title I'll try and explain myself. It was a poor attempt of humour by creating a title that 'visually' contradicts the concept of the shot. There is also a bit of a story behind the title as it is a quote that I remember reading somewhere (relevant to my role in aviation safety) that I was reminded of when setting up the shot. Balancing the knife when it fell and I almost instintively grabbed it by the blade.
Again, thanks Don and everyone else for the comments. It is very much appriciated.
