New Minimalist Urban challenge starts NOW!!

September 10th, 2018
Thank you to @dh for hosting the Mini-light/shadow challenge. And thanks to all of you for participating, voting and for selecting my photo as winner of that challenge. I have now the honour of hosting the next minimalist photo challenge.

A big thank you also to Catherine Pace (@gozoinklings) for creating this challenge! We have now completed the first round of minimalist challenges, going through the five topics: urban, landscape, street, texture and light. I have really enjoyed participating, and to celebrate the end of the first round, I am posting below the winning photos of each of the five challenge.

Here is a reminder of what it's all about, copied from the original post:

Many definitions & examples of minimalist photography out there to consider. Here is a guideline: Minimalism is indeed the art of less. As a life philosophy, minimalists focus on a few essential elements of life and cast unnecessary things aside. Same pretty much goes for this photography style. Keep effects and processing to a minimum also :o)

To narrow down the entries for each challenge, we'll have 5 themes and repeat them in cycles.

mini-urban details (doors, windows, building details, bridges, stairs furnishing etc..)
mini-sea/land/cityscape
mini-street
mini-texture/form
mini-light/shadow

So the challenge starting today is on Urban details (mini-urban2).

The challenge begins today, Sunday 9th September and is open for entries until Sunday 30 September. Shots must be taken within this time frame. A voting will take place shortly after the 30 September. The winner will then host the next challenge Mini-scape2

Please tag your images mini-urban2

I look forward to seeing all your wonderful entries.

@gozoinklings shall we organise a vote to select the best minimalist photo of the first round, among these 5 winners??

i dont know i never considered taking it a step further - just starting the round again ... what about starting a 'mini-win' tag so the photos that win the votes are kept on one page for a little inspiration for the next rounds? does that make sense?

@vincent24 I like your idea and it's great to see all the 1st round winners here 😊
