I love your image Phil, but I'm afraid I have to agree with you and Beryl in that it does have a lot of detail. Could you darken the walls and roof to just leave the walkway and end scene as highlights? Just a thought...
It's a great pic. I'd think that it works for minimalism as there is only one subject in one rather simple environment and the leading lines help to focus directly on the subject. Having said that I'm not a specialist :-)
I just look at the definition of a minimalist image and a lot of patterns disqualify an image from being minimalist. Sorry!
It’s an awesome image, but doesn’t fit my interpretation of minimalism either. The detail in the bricks is a big part, but also the clear and detailed scene at the end of the tunnel.
Interesting, a nice shot but to make it minimal, I think you would need to pull up the black and push up the exposure to lost most of the brick detail.
It’s a great photo Phil, but I have to agree with you & others. I wouldn’t say it was minimalist, too much detail. Minimalist often involves negative space.
It's a really pleasing capture but I agree there's too many elements to the image to qualify for minimalism.
The textures in the walls are interesting to view, though and that's a fine set of strong lead-in lines; b&w was definitely the way to go, imo.

Thanks everyone, I was trying to convince myself that this was minimalist, but as most have confirmed it doesn't really tick that minimalist box
