Comment by Tranquil:
I probably would have liked this image more in all black and white. This is not because I am "against" selective desaturation, but more, that I like your black and white treatmen a lot and I think this could be improved by having the entire image undergo that treatment. This is a very good shot and very well done for the challenge. I will give it very high marks. However there does seem to be some jpeg artifacts and "jaggies" that may be due to either over-sharpening or you may have had some problems in the actual compression of the original shot. If you would like help on compression, feel free to PM me and I will be glad to help you out so that you may submit the best quality shots. Good work, keep it up!

An excellent image that caught my eye immediately. The pattern you have captured is really neat, and the rectangular tiles at the bottom add a lot. 10.

Stunning use of light and shadow to really strengthen the geometric impact of this beautiful amphitheatre and great choice to use black and white to really bring out the textures of the paving. Whilst I like the position of the child within the frame she doesn't, for me, provide a sufficiently strong and obvious focal point to stand up against the striking location itself. I don't know if it would work better if she were wearing a brighter colour (left unsaturated) or, if left in black and white, all white clothes might stand out better.

The use of shape and pattern is very strong and makes the image for me.

Wow! Great. One of the best. I like the composition, the way the curves of the auditorium fill the frame. Good placement of the minimal subject wich do dominate the image. Good colour on the b&w background. Well done! 10

In my opinion, this photo perfectly embodies the Minimalism challenge. It's absolutely gorgeous - I can't think of a single way to improve it.

It's a pity she wasn't wearing more contrasty colours. Otherwise it is a wonderful photograph.

VERY good, still not a 10 from me but a 9 easily, hope you do well. I especially like the composition int this shot and the texture and tonal range in it.
