Greetings from the Critique Club.
Congratulations on surviving your first entry into a challenge. Unfortunately it does not appear that your image connected with many voters idea of a minimal scene. I have to say I agree with some of the other commenters that the scene is quite busy, and for a minimalist scene I would expect a lot of negative space with one primary subject. So your image to many of us just did not fit the challenge very well. (Although there were a couple of people who gave you the top score of 10 too, so for some you really did connect quite well.)
I would be interested in your comments on how this scene was minimal to you. (I love when people describe their process, it helps me expand my thought process when I look at images so that I don't dismiss a shot I think doesn't meet the challenge. Your kind of image can make me think harder about a topic, and what alternative ideas may be possible.)
Technically, I like the image overall. I love those weeds poking up and the lone man on the dock. I also like the drama and darkness in the sky. The tall post right by the boat I found a bit distracting since it pulled my eye away from the boat.
I hope you stick with us and show us more of what you can do. It might not feel like you were off to a great start, but ignore the score and keep shooting.
Julee

WOw! Visual overload! Certainly not minimalism as I know it.
The sky has too much going on... and add in the tilted horizon and my eye never rests on anything. |
