I think you and I both took images that more properly could be classified as "brutalist", not "minimalist". I fared a little better than you, but not all that much... For what it's worth, I like this shot.
Nice shot. But not minimal for me. The arch, buildings and those little clouds all add up to the background. Can't tell if the arch or the side walls is the subject.
love the pov on this, and the symmetry. for b&w, would like a more dramatic sky, it looks like the sky is pretty clear, hard to make that translate w/o color. all in all i enjoy the image
