August challenge - Minimal

I think it might be a good time to return to one of the group's core values this month: minimal photography.

It is typical for the boundaries of this genre to be questioned, but I will leave it up to each individual to apply as they see fit to their own work.

That said, the following is an online definition that may act as a guide.

"Minimalist photography is a form of photography that is distinguished by austere simplicity. It emphasizes sparseness and careful composition, shying away from the overabundance of color, patterns, or information."

Included as an example are a few minimal images of my own that I have on hand.

These are beautiful images you are sharing, very reduced!

Thanks so much for your kind comments.

Very nice minimalist images, Alan. All three are perfect, but I especially like how the fishing rod serves as a leading line to the women. Also, I appreciate the definition of minimalist too. It's good to keep in mind when looking at a potential composition.

Thanks Jenny. It’s always great to hearing your positive viewpoints.
