*** Minimalist Challenge 3 - Optional Theme: Repetition ***

August 2nd, 2019
Thanks to Etienne @Etienne for hosting the second minimalism challenge of the new generation. And thanks to all who participated, voted and commented. Your response to my image is appreciated and I'm honored to host the next challenge.

The minimalist challenge starting today is the third one of the revamped generation. It is thus generic and open to ALL minimalist entries. The suggested optional theme is “repetition"; this theme is not mandatory but can be used as a source for ideas and inspiration. Repetition can be found in nature, architecture, color, etc. Use your imagination and post early!

The challenge begins today, Friday, August 2, 2019, and is open for entries until Friday, August 16, 2019, until midnight in your time zone. Shots must be taken within this time frame. Voting will take place shortly after. The winner will then host the next round and will also propose an optional theme.

Regarding minimalist photography:

Many definitions & examples of minimalist photography are 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.
Minimalism is a style employed by many 20th Century artists, using a minimum amount of components such as color, shape, line and texture to emphasize the subject matter.

Keep effects and processing to a minimum also.

I hope you will enjoy this challenge. Looking forward to seeing your entries and hoping some newbies will join in too!
