Texture and Pattern

going for a minimalist look but there is probably too much pattern with the brick and I am not smart enough or patient enough to process it out.

The rough texture of the brick is good - one that you can layer on to a photo if you want that look! These seed heads fan out nicely!

Nice texture and patterns. You did a good job.

[Kerri Michaels]

cool

This is minimal. Minimal does not necessarily mean your background has no design or pattern- it's really that your subject is isolated on the picture plane and this one is. I like it!

[Tunia McClure]

I like your title.

Nice one, works as minimalist definitely, its an excellent 'eye' to cultivate and I'm not much good at it so should practice more! Seems you are enjoying some sunshine! x

[Chris Johnson]

I still see the minimalism and i also love the look of the shadow!

[Claire]

Very stark, minimalism achieved I think

[Gillian]

I like the textures and patterns. I think you nailed it.

[Diane]

I think the bricks are perfect--great contrast between nature and man-made.
