It takes a little time to find the hiker in the picture and that is why - I think - this photo doesn't reflect the title "minimalism" well. Moreover the light of midday is too strong. But the composition is succeeded. A red jacket and hat to the hiker and a re-shot iin early morning or late evening - and that's it!
this photo did not score too well with me, but it is not a bad photo at all i just dont think it fits the theme:
"Create an image where your subject is the strong point of the image, but only occupying a very small portion of the image space."
although the person in the bottom left of the frame is what YOU want your subject to be, i think that the hilltops snatch the viewers attentition away from the hiker. some of the rocks also seem a bit overexposed giving the picture a harsh look. sorry but this one got a 5
This is a difficult shot to pull off. In this lighting all the rocks and scrub make the photo look too busy for my taste and this takes attention away from the subject. It might have worked better had you taken this at sunrise or sunset and had the hiker actively doing something.
In this image, I see the entire image as being important, and by picking the hiker out and saying this is "minimalism" doesn't seem right to me. "Create an image where your subject is the strong point of the image, but only occupying a very small portion of the image space." In my mind the "subject" should be the main subject in the image, not just "a subject" in the image. Although this is a fine image, to me, it falls short of the challenge outlines.
It's too bad the hiker wasn't wearing something a tad more colourful. Still, wonderful shot with great composition and the sun is giving off great lighting. :)
