Less is more!

Simply said, but it's pretty hard to capture an image with only a few essential elements of life and cast unnecessary things aside.

Therefore I've chosen for an approach with minimal colors (B&W) and minimal key elements (so using 'some' empty space as well), which still exudes an atmosphere inherent to the 'Minimalist' contest topic.

Edit: this image is replaced by my 'Nutshell' image as entry for the Minimalist contest.

If minimalism is your goal here you have done an excellent job. Well done.

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

Some wonderful examples of minimalism on your link SEA.
The ducks probably think they are not minimal to the scheme of things, but it makes for a good entry.

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.

The b/w version and the vast area of water make this a very suitable entry Cornelius. Good luck in the contest.

Smooth seas do not make skilful sailors.

This is what they say is deceiving the rule of thumb and you have done a excellent job as some times this proves dead space can look good.I like how you have the foul both looking to the right and the ripples add a nice feel to this photo too.I do hope this makes sence to you Mr C.

Either shot would be good for the contest, Mr. C. I love the black and white for this, too. Well done.

Long before the white man and long before the wheel, when the dark green forests were too silent to be real. Lightfoot 1967
