Challenge: Minimalism

After learning what "minimalism" meant in the photography world, I tried to do a shadow shot of
"minimalistic maximus", but that turned out too abstract. So, I settled on the profile shot.
I hope this qualifies as minimalism. It seems sort of boring if you ask me, but maybe I'm just
not a minimalism sort of person. I tend to prefer a nice blend of minimalism and business.
Still, it's good to learn what it is, and I appreciate the challenge that makes me branch out from
what I usually do.

Canon PowerShot S50
1/8s f/2.8 at 7.1mm iso50 full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

It's certainly minimal; you are outside the frame :)

This is very well done and not an easy shot to do well. I really like the choice of the textured wall as a background.

Wonderfully done.
I should have learned what minimalism meant before I entered.

Great idea. One does not have look too far to get perfect minimalistic shot.

Nice shadow play.
