Meets challenge description............5 I don't know what the main subject of this image is because there is to many interesting elements to this image.
Meets definition of Minimalism........5 for the same reason as above.
Technical...........can't tell if it is my computer or the image but it appears to have some artifacts in the area of surfers and sky, everything else looks okay to me though..........8
Artistic........10......I like how you framed this image, the rock to the left if omitted my have made the image stronger, but in away I think it adds to the story of talking about the envornment that surfers live in. I love the feel of the dark sand and the white of the foam, beautiful contrast..........I suppose I'm judging the artistic a little high because I am an old surfer with three boards in my back shed waiting for the New England weather to warm up the Atlantic........but we don't have to tell anybody that....nice image...

To be honest I don't like titles on photographs....I love that you used the title to tell me what the subject is or were it is, but that is not the mark of a good photo. As the photo needs to live beyond and apart of its creator. I like this image very much as a whole and with a little more attention to framing I think you would have a very good image to be proud of. Based on my guidelines for voting for this image: How it meets the defination of minimalism, How it meets the challenge description, technical and artistic considerations, you would score a 6 artisitic being the stronge point in this image and technical following in second. If this example is a good example of your work...I believe you have a good eye..

Soaring in the heavens

Meets challenge definition. 0 don't want to sound mean here but if I didn't know what the rules were I would say this image is about the clouds.
Meets definition of minimalism. 10 I believe this image puts in simple visual terms what sea and sky can say to the viewer.
Technical. 4 Not enough clarity on the ocean horizon and lots of artifacts.
Artifact. 8 I love this image and only wish it had the detail mentioned above working for it. I like the mino tone color and admire anybody who can get a striagh horizon line. If I were you I would do a study of clouds.

A Simple Life

Meets challenge description 10
Meets difinition of Minimalism. 5 I believe minimalism would require a closer and more simplified search of the meaning of what it would be to be a snail.
Technical. 5 The focus seems to be off
Artistic. 4 Snails are interesting subjects and I think you are on to some serious snail artistic vision here. But, I don't feel that where your subject falls in the frame says much about or makes this image interesting. This image seems to be more a snap shot rather than a piece of work that calls for me to be drawn to it wanting more.
