| unfortunatly, because of the sun and the mist, the bouy is pretty much not a focal point in this photo. However, I do like the photo |

| A bit blown out and yet too dark (on the subject) at the same time. This is a tough subject to choose for a minimal-editing challenge! |

| Nice bands of texture running across the image, separating it into thirds: good composition. The sun itself is a bit blown out though - maybe it would have been better if you'd left it out of the photo (ie. leave off the top third)? You'd still have it's bright reflecting in the water for interest. |

| Its close, but not 'quite' minimalism in my eyes. |

| Without the title to clue us in the bouy is really lost in it's surroundings. There are so many other elements within this composition that it takes attention away from what you want us to see as your main focus. Minimal it is not - the sun and the reflection of the sun is what instantly captures and holds the viewer's attention - next it is the mist rising from the water and the tree line. The bouy seems an afterthought in a 'sea' of competing elements. Probably the mist rising from the water and the rising sun was cool (and it is very beautiful) that you wanted to include it in the shot. But what happened is these elements totally upstage your main subject and remove it from being a minimilistic shot that only contains a few or one main focal point. A better composition for a minimalistic shot would have been to zoom in on the lower quarter of the left quadrant. In that section you would only have the bouy, some waterlilies and if composed right a slight golden tone reflected on the surface of the water. The bouy could be position in the top right portion of the composition and only make up 10% to 20% of the shot - and it would still be considered minimal. A good shot that has some strong bones that need to be brought out in order to make this a minimalistic shot. |

| IMO the buoy isn't the main subject here, just a nice extra to a landscape shot. sun is too bright. |

| Has potential, but some overexposed, glaring spots where the detail is lost in the highlights. Also... the correct spelling would be... "buoy"! 4 |
