This sand was to the side of a stream near the ocean's edge. Water level there goes up and down with the tide, and somehow made these formations.

Title says the sand is the most important element of photo. Seeing there is more sand than pebble I think you missed the challenge discriptio.

Meets challenge discription........5
Image meets definition of Minimalism....................10 Right on if you were talking about sand, beach, ocean, and etc.
Technical.............................................................10
Artistic.................................................................9 subjectively speaking I would have framed this a bit differently, but hey.....your the artist....Nice image overall in my opinion..

Average score.............................8 Yes this in a minimalist image.

Tough time deciding if the stone or the sand itself should be the subject.

I like the strong use of line here. The shadows and highlights almost draw the eye to the stone. I would have liked to see the stone a bit more clearly. Has a very Japanese look. Meets the challenge well.
Second Pass: Bumping up.

Good idea that you've got there, but you didn't do the best out of it imo. The stone should have been placed lower and a little bit more to the left (but still on the right side), you should have had the rule of thirds in mind for the composition in the photo.

I like the rippled textures in the sand and the zen effect of the rock...also, the suble tones appeal to me.

I like the ripples of the sand, though in some ways they are almost more the focus/subject of this shot than the barnacle (?). I think that a little tiny tighter on the barnacle might not have been a bad idea, just to capture a little more of that detail.

I would use this as a background on a brochure or the like anytime.
