Was this a late entry for minimalism

Comment by hopelessoptimist:
I thought to myself, "Yeah, another flower on white" but I liked it. As noticed by a few the darker half to the right would have been better removed, as well as the long shadow from the flower. I found the shadows to be really important to this photo. Lighting this was really an experiment and proved to be fairly difficult. I shall revisit it. Given my interpretation of the rules, I didn't eliminate some of the flaws in the flower.

Nice flower. I like the simple background. Is the darker background on the right intentional? 7

Comment by metoecus:
The strong shadows and pollen specks are distracting. The gradient along the right edge does a good job of leading my eyes toward the flower.

i like this composition, but i think the background needs to be a bit more white with a stronger shadow around the flower.

I think this could have a greater impact with a darker shade for the backround.
