I'm not so sure that cropping or composing a photo so that most of the subject is on the edge of the frame counts a minimalism or not. It does look like a shot where you simply almost missed the subject. Seeing that that is the case by your comments, I will just say that it shows.
The focus on the kid is very soft as well. We get no detail in his face. I want to see that expression better. The dark shadow over his face also does not help us to see his face. Which means that it was very important to get the face in focus.
Now, again, I realize that you said the photo was an accident to begin with, all I'm saying is that it shows, and while it may be an interesting photo for your own personal photo album, outside viewers may not find it particularily fascinating. We don't have the emotional connection to a photo of this kind.

So, since we can't really see his face, what is there left to look at? There is his body, which is also soft focus due to his motion, and there is grass, which is actually in pretty good focus. Of course the grass wasn't moving to create blur.
That being said, neither just the body nor the grass are very interesting to look at. |

| I am not sure about the composition of this image. Looks more like an almost missed shot than a planned composition. 4 |

| this photo lacks punch, there doesn't seem to be much justification for the framing, and the kid isn't terribly interesting, if we could see his expression better, or his small size was emphasized, or something, the photo just doesn't seem to be saying anything |

| Cute snapshot. This could be improved with the inclusion of the base and a bit of fill flash. |

| I feel the subject is "too out of the frame", and your angle is directed too much into the ground. More of both subject and background needed for me. |
