Eight Ball in the Sky Pocket

Great photograph. Slightly mad, love the composition, especially the relative positioning of those cars; and the tonal range throughout - even the blown post. Nice shooting indeed.

Orange in the Grass

Comment:
Strong colours, good composition - the semi-percieved lines in the grass work well. The vignetting is useful too. I think I might have been tempted to get a touch closer, personally, to play up the contrast of texture too, if possible - I think you could afford to be a touch more orange in this challenge. It's difficult to decide whether I like it or not - I shall come back to it.

So many people try this kind of stuff, and just fall over and end up glancing around sheepishly hoping that no-one noticed. This has a touch of a master's hand behind it, I would say. My only reservation would be about the levels on the foremost blade - touchingg on that borderline between white and grey, for web display, I think is very difficult, and on my machine this goes a little far.

Abstrait du Canard Blanc

Oh to be able to smooth out those little imperfections on the water - such a presence here, against that smoothness. I would love there to be a bit more fine detail on the feather; this is a fine shot though.

Almost Full

Comment:
Strong work to retain that ddetail in the moon; and I like also that your chosen landscape is so very plain. I don't like, for this challenge, the enormous graininess of the sky, however: it seems to go against the 'full control' element that is so often a hallmark of minimalism. But it's an interesting approach, certainly.

Certainly meets the challenge, but lacks detail - whether that's procesing or your original is impossible to say, other than that there do seem to be problems left from processing - especially in the highlight on the orange thing.

I think this will prove too busy generally around frame to meet most folks' idea of this challenge - sure it meets the specific requirement, but people bring their own ideas, also. Technically, I think it's too bright overall: the colours lack vibrancy, and yet are not de-saturated to remove their presence, or to make a feature of that.

Neat enough idea, although I think shots using only the very bottom of frame are going to get a touch 'normal' by the end of this challenge :-) It's certainly well organised, and well detailed, but it lacks any greater impact for me - perhaps more careful light would have helped: you could have done more, I think, to shape and define that bloom with a soft high side-light, for instance.

Pinned

Comment:
Good, I like this. You've reduced the necessary information used to portray your subject to an absolute minimum, I would say. The concentric pattern of the light is key, and that pin is clear although its nothing more than pure black and white. strong compositionally also - feels like you've paid attention to the fine details, all of which stuff I would suggest is requiite for minimalism.

I like the sense of the far shore here, and the compositional balance between your two subjects. Minimalism? Yes - I think so: it has that engagement with a different type of landscape, a little like the New Topography school of photography.
