*Critique Club*
Funny out of the crit club shots I've done for minimalism, the comments either say that the subject is too big, or the subject is too small. Geez, make up my mind. lol
Anyway, I think this is simple enough to qualify for minimalism.
The first thing that really stands out to me is the lighting. It gets a bit dark to the left side of the flower. I'm thinking that some fil flash or some reflected light might have helped get some light on that darker area and it would contrast evenly with the nice background then.
The background is perfect. I love the blue in combination with the color of the flowers.
Focus and clarity are really good in my opinion. We get to see a lot of neat detail in the flowers.
One thing I find distracting is the little piece of branch in the lower left corner. This adds nothing to the photo at all, and without it, it would help to draw our attention to the flowers and also help increase the minimal effect.
Overall I think it's a nice shot of the flowers and it really stands out nice on that background.

| The light is rather harsh; placing a piece of paper below the camera to bounce some light back onto the near side of the flowers would have helped quite a bit, but you probably would have had better results if this wasn't done so close to noon. I find the leaves in the bottom left corner distracting. |

| I don't see this as minimalism but it might be my limitations. The light is too much on the flower which is not in very good focus. But good thinking. |

| I dont feel this fits the topic challenge because it covers too much of the frame. Also, the focus seems to be off. |

| Not really minimal, and it needs light from below |

| The flower seems to me that it is too large in the image to be minimal. I like the lighting and angle you've used. |

| Subject is much too large for a Minimalism challenge. Focus is off. Lots of haloing (from image size reduction?). |

| Contrast is pushed a bit too high on this, making it hard to look at. Flower seems a little out of focus. |
