Anything but minimilistic ... well ok it isn't colour.

Stunning image though just plain fantastic, loads to look at (I for one like busy photos).

----- after the edit

I get it, the minimilisation man by nature .... zikes my mind is soooo slowing down .... all the same I don't think its what the challenge had in mind.

Much too busy to be called minimalism. Not that it's not an impressive black and white landscape...

I think there is too much going on here.. great pic and use of red! But not challenge appropriate I believe.

mmh....It's more about contrast and scale than minimalism; or more exactly there is indeed something minimalistic here, but in the subject, not in the image. Not really DNMC in my opinion, and because it's also a very good picture (fascinating even): 8

Beautiful image; however, a little too busy to be minimal.

A beautiful image, but I don't consider it to be minimalism.

To me, this seems to be the opposite of minimalism. It's too bad, as this is a really wonderful shot for a different challenge!

Excellent starkness and contrast. I believe it meets the challenge in the true sense of the word.
