| I think there is a little too much detail in the rock and all the other background elements. 5 |

| a beautiful shot, seems to be more about the stones and their contrast with the green and blue through the window. If the butterfly is your subject, i would have tried to crop out the outside entirely, and have an analagous color scheme, because i love how the butterfly looks against the castle wall, 7 |

| If not for the title I probably would have missed the butterfly entirely. A shallower DOF would have helped to guide the viewer to the intended focal point. Because of the composition I was looking for a subject through the stone opening. |

| in this photo, the attention is drawn to the opening, not to the butterfly. |

| Hmm IMO the concept is fundamentally wrong... most people would expect to see the door leading to your subject... A 6 for your efforts. |

The butterfly sorta looks like you just stuck it there, I dunno.
And I'm sure you've heard it but your sky is blown out |

| i like the idea and if you consider the butterfly to be the subject of your picture then it fits minimalism. unfortunately the challange states that your subject also has to be the strong point of your submission which in this case i do not believe to be true. the opening in the wall (some i guess call it a window...) is far more dominant than the butterfly. you still achieved a very high score because this is a really beautiful photo and i can see where you tried to fit the theme. the only other comment i have about the picture itself is that the sky seems a bit overexposed which is dissappointing becasue of all the other beautiful colors in the photograph. B+ or an 8 may bump later |

| i looked at this image for a good minute wondering what the subject was - and i even had to look longer after i saw the title. My eye was drawn to the window, not the butterfly. Admittedly i had just woken up, but still the subject should not so hard to find imho. |

| The butterfly on the wall is beautiful! IMO, if you cropped off the view and just had the butterfly and wall it would fit the challenge better. Nice colors and detail. |

| this is very pretty, the glowing sun on the stones, makes the butterfly hard to see. But a great image and still give a ... |

| I love that you got a butterfly in the this shot, that must have been hard to do! However, I almost didn't notice it because the dark portion of the photo drew my attention too much. Beautiful scenery! |

| Without the title, I wouldn't have know that the butterfly was the subject. |

| The window is very distracting. This should have been cropped so that only the butterfly and the rocks were visible. |

| Nice photo, just took me too long to find the subject. Didn't even find it until I read the title. |

| Minimal yes, but doesn't have the simple elegance I associate with minimalism. Not sure the view doesn't take away the attention from the butterfly too much |

| The butterfly does not seem to be the captive part of this image |

| The brightness of the rock draws the eye away from the butterfly. Darkened, this might have been an excellent shot. I also wish the depth of field had been narrower to blur out the distant area. |

| the opening draws too much attention for this to work...maybe only the butterfly on the wall. |
