About Elegantly Minimal (post 1 ~ award 1)

This is a group for minimal photos. We know that the word "Elegantly" is in the group name, but it means photos that are elegantly MINIMAL, minimal being the operative word. The "elegant" before the "minimal" means that we are looking for photos that are so very minimal that they are elegant.

Please avoid photos that are "busy or cluttered...photos should contain only one or 2 shapes. Minimal color range also helps with the minimalism, but a colorful photo can be minimal if it is very basic in shape and form.

Minimal landscapes should be VERY minimal. A mountain range with a field of flowers in the foreground is NOT minimal. An ocean at night with only waves and beach, or a moon in a dark sky might be minimal if there are no other objects. Minimal flower photos abound, so to be included in the group they must be extremely minimal and original in composition (yes, we all love the daisy against a dark background, but we already have 35 of them in the pool).

Please do not post: portraits of people or pets, concerts or stage dramas, pornography or glamour photography, sports/action shots, or anything with added decoractive borders.

Please keep in mind that some subjects can become monotonous if the limit of 5 are submitted all at the same time. If you have 5 very similar subject photos it is better to to submit them one or 2 at a time, so that they will garner the attention they deserve in the pool.

The theme is for photos are photos displaying the theme of "Minimalism".

Comment on as many as you post! Please do not dump and run.

Violations to our group rules may result in being kicked or banned “with no warning”!

You have the right to disagree about what you don’t like BUT if you disagree about how this group is managed please don’t join this group.

Be a little selective about the photos you post. They should be your best images following the theme of "Minimalism".

In fact, if this happens, this group's administrators welcome you to post your photo here tomorrow!
