I would define minimalism as a photo/artwork that although not featuring much, captivates the viewers due to a sort of balanced feng shui effect. I think that a few important qualities that a minimalist piece should posses would be balance, contrast, and most importantly - simplicity. I chose this photo because I find the placement and apparent movement of the man compelling. I chose this image because I love the combination of the lined background with a shadow in the corner. This photo I chose because i admire how the water and the rest of the background blend together giving the photo a surreal sort of look.
