On the contrary, I think it's very eye-catching ;-) The simplicity and the muted colours make it one of the best in this challenge for me. Good one, MAK. Congrats on top 10.

Shame about the aeroplane trail thru the sky, when the sky is such a dominant part of the picture, but very nice photo.

The close-up of this statue does not really convey a strong feeling of silence to me. Nicely photographed though with good dof, tectures and tones. 5

a lot of sky negative space it would have scored higher than a 6 if 2/3 the sky was gone for me

I originally marked this as a 4, because when I first saw it, I couldn't process it--I couldn't figure out what it was, and it didn't hold my interest enough to keep looking at it. Now that I've gone back and studied it more--I get it. I moved it to a 5, but even though I like the idea, I would have liked it better if the front part of the image was more in focus, and if the background was darker (without the light spots) to set the image off more. It's hard when they take dodge and burn away from us, isn't it!

My favorite minimalist tree in the challenge - I really like the way you've brought out the color and texture in the foreground.
