I really like this for the reasons you describe. I'm not sure how minimalist it is - "minimalist photos tend to feature a main subject, lots of empty space, and nothing else." I love all the texture in the sand and the grooves of the water running into the sea. Is that too much to enjoy to be truly minimalist? It all depends on the judge!
@helenhall@boxplayer Helen and Box' , I think you are right in your narratives , the negative space has lots of detail , but it is negative space ! The quality of judges and their interpretation of themes varies a lot ... we've had 2 different still life comps in the last three years and both judges gave top marks (from different authors) to a bottle of wine / glass of wine photo, which is a bit of a cop out in my opinion as we had some great still life images ! I'm packing in my judging career, all judges seem to come out with the same cliches !!!! Little rant there
A little late as I didn't see this pic before. I'd characterize it as "minimalist". The subject is visibly the couple of humans ad there is not much more on the image. The water creates a lovely leading line to the subject.
Let us know if you submit it and what the judges said :-)
