The theme for Minimal-38 is leaf

May 7th, 2023
Many thanks to Sally @salza for hosting the previous Minimalism Challenge (photographer’s choice) and to everyone who entered and voted. I’m thrilled to have been voted the winner. I apologise or the delay in posting this challenge. I have just returned home from a 3 week trip to Japan.

I have chosen leaf as the theme for the minimal-38. This can be a single leaf or a group of leaves.

Minimalism is the art of less is more. Minimalist photography uses the minimum number of components such as colour, shape, line and texture to emphasise the subject matter and 'negative space' can play a big part in minimalist images. Try to create photos that cut through the clutter by emphasising the essentials such as clean lines and empty spaces.
