First I want to thank everyone who participated in this challenge, I hope you had fun doing it.
Now, this is the part I dislike most about hosting a challenge; selecting the short list of photos for voting. In this case, I decided to give more weight to the 'minimal' requirement and less to the absolute attractiveness of the image. What I'm trying to say is that I eliminated some photos that I liked because they were, in my mind, less 'minimal' than others.
So, here are my five selections for voting:
And thanks for choosing mine!
