As usual, very difficult to judge. I found my eye drawn to shots applying the Rule of 3rds - seems to work well in Minimalist shots - not always tho - of course. Always fun to break a rule Here are my choices:

The honourable mentions - probably in alphabetical order.
grompem. Can't quite make out the title for this - neat with the pylons fading into the fog.


peterschmidtab. "Jan 24". Super minimalist shot - lovely sky and nice detail in the sand.


sylvester. "Downtown Evening". I really like the layers in this shot with the nicely placed street lamp.


schultzy. "Minimalist Portrait". I hadn't thought of portraits for this subject, but this is great with its high key look.


and the finalists are

3rd Place: Kzaret. "Pauanui, N. Island, New Zealand." What a different shot - the mystery of the tracks adds such a neat dimension.


In 2nd Place: Amoxtli. "July 12". Love this simplistic shot with the flower perfectly placed


1st Place mclew: "Street Art". How cool - a frame of nothing with a nice combination of tones.


It's over to you Margaret.

Oh dear, I had difficulty posting this - you may have to miss out on the photos - unless I can fix it.

Can't fix it Will contact Emily.

Got it - weird - the pb-Image part added to the front and back of the image address came out in lower case the first time. When I changed it to PB-Image, it worked.

Congratulations to Margaret and the other winners. Thanks Gil for the HM and an excellent theme.

Thanks for the HM and Congratulations to the winners. I KNEW Margaret''s empty frame and radiant color was going to claim 1st place as soon as I saw it. Beautiful. sylvester/john medlin

What a nice surprise, thanks Gill, for a good topic! Congratulations to all the winners and HM's. I will sleep on the topic for the next competition and be back soon with it.

Margaret
