Guessing by the placemnt in the bottom 4%, your assumptions that you were not sure this is what you should be putting up were correct.
This is an interesting shot. Looks like a guy celebrating something in the forground and a guy at a jukebox?? in the background. I would say that there was too much going on in the photo for it to be considered minimal.
Setting the challenge aside, since you already know you went wrong there. I'll comment on the photo itself.
I like the redish tones to the photo, but the guys face looks unnaturally reddish also. He looks very badly sunburned or something. The guy in the back and what he's doing is what really catches my eye, so I wonder if this might have been better without the guy in the front.
I like the angle and framing/cropping on the guy in the back and the guy in the front doesn't really seem to fit into the photo much at all. The background is calm and he's definately not.
Focus is a bit soft, which I'm assuming was what you were going for to show the movement in the photo, but I'm thinking I would like to have SOMETHING in focus. The darkness probably had a hand in that.
Overall the photo is interesting, but doesn't really hold me in.

I hope this doesn't get voted as low as I expect it to. It's one of the most interesting in the challenge. It's not typical, perfect fayre and the comp is not ideal but there's something to look at here and I like the exposure, although a little longer could have given you more interesting light effects.

this is not minimalism - webster - "a style or technique (as in music, literature, or design) that is characterized by extreme spareness and simplicity" too much going on in this shot to be simplistic, too much movement, to many subjects

not minimalism

I'm not entirely sure what the subject of this photo is supposed to be, and so it's a little hard for me to tell if it fits within the contest parameters.

This is a very chaotic choice to me in a minimalism challenge. Not a bad pic to portray a night at a club or perhaps rage or another emotion, but I just can't see 'minimalism'. Sorry.

Thats a disturbing image, dark and powerful.
04/27/2005 02:59:03 AM
Very disturbing image, but I like it. The blurry guy in the background is freaky
