Minimalist beauty

"Minimalist photography is a form of photography that is distinguished by extreme, austere simplicity. It emphasizes spareness and focuses solely on the smallest number of objects in the composition process." - Source

That is the brief for PhotoFeed Theme Contest - Minimalist Photography and the first thing that come into my mind was my pictures of sand lilies. Apart from the fact that they have given me some totally minimalist pictures, they are also the most minimalist plants I know. Growing on sand dunes around the Mediterranean sea, on a dry and arid environment they use their resources wisely to survive and even expand. And all that with the most delicate and elegant way!

The contest itself isn't require a dedicated post, a picture in the comments is enough but I had a hard time to decide which picture to submit as my entry so I gathered the finalists here to see them all together and maybe get some feedback from you.

I really liked your publication, the truth is that you have a great job as a photographer, and I hope one day to have the skill to take photographic captures of that level. Well I know I also need a good team to achieve several more teas of that quality, but I will work hard to achieve that goal.

Thank you for your feedback! I don't know why I find it so difficult to choose from my own pictures.

Whenever I see your photos, I get inspired to grab my camera and get back out there. 🙂📸

Lovely shots! I like #3 the best, but if I was to choose the best for minimalistic purposes I think #11. 😊

Oh yes, I was considering 11, I just though it is a pity not not include one of those beautiful flowers!
Thanks a lot for your feedback and get out there :)

There really is something impressive about a good minimalistic photo. You do it well, and that strong bokeh certainly helps!

Thanks a lot, those flowers are one of my favorite subjects!
I go to the place they grow year after year and I still don't feel that I have captured their beauty properly.
