Critique the Community
Minimalistic
Submit your best minimalistic photo now for your chance to win a free Fstoppers tutorial.
Congratulations to the winners!
This weeks episode of Critique the Community provided a wonderful exercise in photographic simplicity. Of the many beautiful submissions we received, here are our thoughts on 20 of them.
To kick things off, we'd like to congratulate Ziga Radsel for submitting the image that received the highest average community rating. We'd also like to congratulate Tom MacDonald for being the randomly selected entrant to win a free tutorial. We will be in touch with both of you via your Fstoppers profile to receive your choice in an Fstoppers original tutorial.
As discussed in the video, we are considering limiting the number of images we select for each episode to 10. We hope this will make each episode a little shorter, more focused, and more digestible. We will continue to give away two free tutorials in each episode. Do you think this is a good idea? Let us know in the comments.
If you enjoyed this episode and want to participate in our next one, the submissions are open for your best images taken at night.
Rules & Prizes
For this episode of Critique the Community, we want to see your best simple but beautiful shots.
We will be choosing 20 images from the community's best minimalistic images. Like Mike Kelley's image above, your images do not need to fit any specific genre; rather, we will be looking for shots that are visually simple and stunning regardless of subject matter. Of those chosen to be part of the next critique, two entrants will win a free Fstoppers original tutorial. The first winner will be the person who receives the highest average community rating on their image and the second will be chosen at random.
You're invited to submit up to two of your best images that fit the topic. Once you do, use your arrow keys and numpad to click through the rest of the contestants' submissions and let us know which shots you think are the best. Please reference our rating guidelines below and feel free to leave friendly and helpful critiques of your own in the comments.

Could you please enable captions in future videos? It'll help us deaf folks. Thanks!
Some people have trouble understanding minimalism it seems :D
Thanks for this suggestion, Jen. We've never looked into it in the past so I appreciate you bringing this to our attention!
