She looks like Alan Gilzean
Just so we are clear, there is a difference between 'minimalist' and 'abstract', right?
I was wondering that. I was going to enter a pic then remembered I'd entered in the Abstract comp!

no offence e19896 but I just dont understand why three people have said this is a great pic. I like it well enough but I just don't quite get the excitement it aroused. Anyone care to enlighten me?
It was discussed a couple of months ago that constructive criticism was welcome on here I believe.
all brain washed by me did you not the pm, (lol) just as shocked i like, otherwise would not have entered. but not a grand shout agreed, it works in this context of this compaction and i guess hear is not a place to debate?

ok, i'll have a go. 1, i think its well constructed, in that despite there not being much in the picture, you can look at it for a long while and enjoy the way that the colours and the shapes and the form all fit together. 2, i think that the simple way that the lights resemble a flower, both at the head and stem, makes you look once, twice and more. 3, i saw it and thought 'wow' which is what i would imagine a good image should do in this context. 4, i was slightly stoned which always assists my appreciation of 'art'
oh, and of course, there is the simple fact that people have different opinions, just because you don't think much of it, doesn't mean other people don't. innit

I agree with PaulieTandori almost entirely except, my point 4 is not based on mind altering substances, (although I can see how they might contribute.) My point 4 is because the subject of this months competition is "Minimalism", a theme, it would appear, not everyone has quite grasped as yet!
hand hold, took a load with auto focus off, then same again, use repeat take, at different perspectives it not till wordie+-+light
was published it made it work in head. i took with the completion in mind

You mean Minimalism as an art
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minimalism
Or what about Minimalism as a sport, a simple design or even environmental living. There are loads of ways of looking at this theme.
I'd like to know what you mean by that too?

Well of course you're correct. I was referring to the description posted by BM in the original OP:
That seems fairly concise, but hey, post what you think minimalism represents for you... I'm not the judge...Barking_Mad said:
