I can imagine a lot of people putting in some flower shots, and some landscape/sky shots most likely.
It's a very tough challenge!!!

I am also not sure what this means: is it the shot which must be simple (not many elements), or the subject itself (people will recognize the subject itself as "plain or simple")?

i think recognizing the scene/subject as representing something simple
is the goal.

Very few colours, very few objects, but it looks good, for me, this is simplicity on a photo.

I´m thinking about it until now and I can´t reach to reasonable point to it. The challenge description says: Clarity of expression; lack of sophistication; absence of complexity; plainness. Capture the essence of simplicity in your photograph.
So to me the phrase: Clarity of expression; lack of sophistication; absence of complexity; plainness. is concerning to subject. It needs to be simply, but obvious. On the same way, only to me, the second phrase: Capture the essence of simplicity in your photograph. is concerning to the shot itself. Really I can imagine a good subject until now. I feel that... I will be out of this challenge too. |

I agree.
Also, a heightened effort to mainatain only one or two elements in a shot (line, dot, shape, etc) adds to a feeling of simplicity. |

I struggled with this as well, but what I ended up with was a simple shot of a subject that also conveyed simplicity. I'm hoping that the double up will gain me more points. And while some of us might have had a difficult time with it, that didn't stop 117 of us (so far!) from entering :-)

I'm just wondering if soft focus could apply here with simplicity?
Any other suggestions would be greatfull!

Sure, I think I gathered from people that a simple subject was what was expected. Just think: what is simple. An abstract, simple geometric form would be simplicity; or any photo with one clear focal point, and nothing else to distract. Or something that people would look and say: that's really simple. But beautiful.
That excludes any picture or likeness of the US tax code, or any legal document.
