The Photographer's Eye

Interesting concept, but it doesn't really work for me as an image, and the white reflection just above the center black circle was unfortunate and distracting to my eyes.

Early Warning

The different hill layers in this, with the washed out look of both the middle and upper ones, detracted from this shot, and to my eyes made it too busy to be a minimalist shot.

Ships at Dusk

Comment:
The overall look of this shot didn't appeal to me; the minimalist elements are caught up in the imprecise focus on the ships and problems with contrast in their lights, and the distracting rocks in the lower right corner.

Simply Beautiful

A beautiful shot, but it's not minimal to me (either within the challenge description or within my understanding of the technique).

There was a bit too much going on here for me to think of this as minimal. I also wish the model had been a bit more to the right, so that his hair didn't get lost on the left side (as you look at him) in the brick.

This didn't work for me; minimal, but with elements that detracted from that for me (the size of the paper, the nail, the texture on the wall).

I was unsure what was going on with this shot; the image on the right (Hendrix?) detracts from the minimalism for me, and turns it into a different kind of shot; the diagonal on the right distracted me from the main subject(s) here.

Lens Flare

Comment:
Interesting idea, but for me it didn't really work; the extra reflections near the flare, the line coming out, and the lone reflection to the right don't fit together to me.

Nothing minimalist about this for me, a very busy, confusing shot, though well lit with some nice highlights, the focus seems off to me for the subject matter.

Shadows alone aren't really minimalism to me, and there's a lot going on here for me to think of this as a minimalist shot. You're also (probably unfairly) falling victim to my prejudice against woodies (they do absolutely nothing for me as subject matter, sorry); that said, you did a wonderful job with the lighting on this, showing more than just the bare outline (though I may have actually put the figure behind the frame, as the bits of highlight showing at the bottom are distracting to me); I'm bumping it up a bunch from where I first voted it.
