DPC can be frustrating --- don't let it get you down! I would suggest making a post in the forums explaining the true beauty of this shot (if you dont --- I will!!!) :)

This just doesn't fit minimalism by my standards.

beautfiul landscape... breathtaking actually... the slope towards the right bothers me a tad, and maybe the people are a little bit too minimal....

Well executed but too much in picture for me.

People will give this a 3--second scan and immediately conclude "Not Minimalism". I can probably say that you have gotten many comments and have been voted down for not meeting the challenge. However, after scrutinizing this image further, one recognizes the true brilliance of the shot. The few ambiguous figures in the distance give such a sense of scale that one wonders what the meaning of minimalism is to begin with. There could be a few technical improvements of this shot; I would start by dodging and burning more as well as bumping up the contrast (maybe a try in B&W?), but these are easy alterations to do and I'd love to see what you do to this shot in the future. Beautiful work, don't let the high-speed voters of DPC let you down. Hope this 10 bumps you up further!

Beautiful photo, but doesn't seem at all "minimalist" to me. I know there are some tiny people over there, but the over-all scenery is what draws my eye. I'd call it grand and magestic instead of minimalist!

This is a beautiful shot, but I almost could not see the people.

Great photo but out of context for the challenge. The arch certainly has the focus not the otherway round.
04/28/2005 04:46:30 PM
This is nice but I think it is not minimalism. I'm sorry to give it a low rating. (Yes, I see the small figures but I don't think they are the focus of the image.)
04/28/2005 04:05:41 PM
where is the minimalism in this shot?
04/27/2005 08:53:28 PM
they are not in focus
04/27/2005 06:40:10 PM
nice frame, but the subject is not minimal. I know you wanted it to be the people, but they are not the subject that I am drawn to, it is the landscape.

Gorgeous picture! 10

Wow! This is great. It leaves enough so that your imagination can decide which of the very strong subjects is the most minimal. I love the mountains in the very back and also the clouds, not to mention the rocks are awsome! So..I give this a 10 because to me it meets the challenge perfectly and also is a very well taken photo.

great shot, but don't see how it fits the challenge - what's the focal point? I'd say it's the rock, and it definitely takes up most of the image
04/27/2005 09:49:44 AM
Nice landscape

nothing about this says minimalism - but it's a great image otherwise
04/27/2005 02:33:11 AM
nice rocks
