For me, minimalist means lots of negative space and the least amount of stuff to get a message across.  Not sure what the message is here but I don’t think it changes much between the three photos. I don’t think the color combination is very interesting   Abstract stuff like this is so subjective and difficult to critique.

Nice shot and colors!  I like Erik’s solid BW background.  For me the the blue background makes it too much color and is an over load.  I would try to lighten the racoon eyes.

Nice!

I like Peters compo but this is pretty cool.  Far out man!

Eric, I’m using a crop similar to yours on a calendar for friends and family… they all know how big a bottle of beer is too so they don’t need something for scale.   2022 will all be booze shots.  Thanks for your comments!

Thanks Rob!

I agree Erik.  My first photo was almost exactly like your edit but my wife mentioned that it could be photo of a advertisement or poster.  I like it better without the ceiling but I know what it is and how big it is.  BTW, the red XX is glowing neon and the bottles are back lighted.

Paul,  I was not happy with the way the shadow of the umbrella looked, yours looks great. In fact I really like the entire crop.   Thanks!

WOW!  Chat the  owner up.  A building like that could keep a photographer busy for quite awhile.

Hi Peter, nice framing and a good idea but I think it needs a more obvious subject.

Hi Greg!  This may be a little over done.  What do you think?

Again, thanks for the comments!  In that big blue negative space there will be text… 2022 Mazatlán.  The calendar is geared towards snowbirds and tourists to take home as a souvenir.  Rob, I tried flipping it and it does look better but this is at the most popular beach in town and people would be scratching their heads and thinking they had too…[Read more]

Rob and Beth, thanks for your comments.  I did a little bit of all of your suggestions.  I think the right side looks less crowded.  Rob don’t pixel peep… it’s only going to be printed 10×7 and by a mediocre printer.

Hey Rob, No more left on the right and adding to the canvas there is beyond my PS pay grade, On the left would be no problem.  The right does feel crowded.  What would you think of cloning out a bit of the island to create a bit more elbow room?  I had a 10mm lens but shot 14 darn it!  I’m going to try processing it from scratch and inc…[Read more]
