This one really strikes me - very nice. My only teeny grip is the loss of focus at the top edge - but it's really difficult to be critical of a nice abstract like this.

I like it applied to Minimalism. I think that's a wonderful goal for this movement: to create some sort of basic unit of imagery. This title/concept brings out the strength of your image: its boldness. You've risked being too simple, and not original enough, in order to achieve this boldness. I think it works.

I coined and then searched to see if it existed. This was what convinced me to go ahead and use it. I was afraid it might be either too pretentious or just a detriment for lack of Webster's documentation. Thank you for taking interest enough to look into it.

Is this a bit too dead center, I mean, you must ask yourself that. I love the contrast shape, serenity and zen of the form, but it seems to lack that final je ne sais quoi. (Still its superb amongst a field of technically proficient but absent of theme shots.)

I really like this one quite a bit. It's a bit of a peculiar illusion... I find it difficult to see how exactly the shadow is being cast.

Good use of the literal minimalism (basic shapes and lines). This photo feels a bit like an optical illusion. I cannot tell if it's 3d or 2d.
