Very lovely leaf Micturn.

**Yes the leaf by ** **micturn is realy gorgeous and a pastel color is just enough.

Helle, lovely to see a single head separeted by its color from the group.

Nice work, helanker, and thankyou both kindly :)

That leaf is really a great perspective and although it is small and just a bit shows, it seems to command attention.

Helle that touch of white is just what the shot needed. Wonderful.

So where is Tara? 

Tara is right here, wondering why nobody answered micturn's question!  LOL!

Yes ... you can absolutely post that in your gallery.  This is only for fun back here, and there's no contest involved.

I'll start taking pictures soon, I promise!  LOL!  Bill just got back last night, and he's sure to kick my behind and get me clicking the shutter.

Thanks for answering micturn's question Tara!!! I just git to the challenge now - had a rough day!

Micturn - stunning image - simplistic yet powerful - exactly what I meant the challenge to be! And like Tara said - you can definitely upload it in your gallery!

Helle - wonderful shot! Your finger in the image somehow just lifts it to another level! Excellent!

You guys raise the bar daily!!! I better myself into gear too!!

Oh, how nice things I saw here already!
Even if you have to go to a cemetery, Auntietk ;-)
You can better go there for taking picture's, then for  .........'everything else' :woot: !

Yesterday I went biking in the fields here.
Oh, I've make a lot of pictures, by having  so much freedom-feelings. (btw, I'm suffering of p.t.s.d.:crying:)
So going away,
makes my day,
yesterday.

What I please wont to ask. : That ladybug, was just uploaded, to ask the information from Meisiekind.

So if it could be, I would like to post, maybe tree others. Is that okay by you, then?
If not, its also okay with me.
Just feel free !
: You see.
I like the
smilies, he, he!

Have a great photo-weekend ♥ 
Bye then,
Mies.

Oh Tannie - that is gorgeous!!! Love it! Bill is back for a day and already he has kicked your butt into action!
GO BILL!!!! LMAO!!!....

This is one shot in Tara's nearby cemetery yesterday. There were some flat headstones but they are gone now...of course no disrespect to the occupants

Hi Carin, Auntietk was ready to go out for pics...she just was looking for company to go with her. Two photographers seem to be more motivated to get out and go than one. LOL

Time was late, late, late in the afternoon, therefore the loooooong shadow.

HIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHI !  I love this one and your funny explations !!!!!! .......and your use of smilies.

LOL... great one Bill!!! It actually gives me an idea for another possible subject!
Glad you and Auntie got your A's into G!!!! :))

Carin.

Oeee - most wonderful florals! They are all really special works of art!
Well done! :)

Tara, this is so lovely and I like a shadow too.
Bill, spot on, great picture.
Charberry, wonderful trio.

seeyus  T

Nice work, one and all!

Wonderful shots, Char!  :)  They're all beautiful!

OH Yes, 3 gorgeous captures. They are so lovely Charberry.

WOW ! You really got a fantastic shot there. Well done.

BobKemper, that's an awesome capture!  Wonderful.

Spectacular shot, Bob!  Wow.  That's excellent!

Excellent shot Bob and perfect for the challenge!

Some of the flowers and trees around here are already in bloom, and some are just starting to get their first buds. I was out walking after dinner and kept thinking a bud all by itself might turn out interesting. Luckily (ha, ha) I just happened to have a camera with me.

I'm going to try to help out here... Carin had an unfortunate occurrence and is without a laptop for the time being. But I won't complain..lol. I was secretly hoping to moderate the forum challenge for some time now. :-)

Tara - cemeteries are a great place for minimal shots and you certainly found a great one with the flowers.

Char! You really seem to have a delectable selection of florals (and you know how I love florals!) great minimalistic shots!

Bob, your depth of field is magic. Zooming in to refine the focus really blends the background well.

I do think we need to stir the pot though...does anyone have an idea for us to try...say a particular subject that we might be able to incorporate into this challenge?  Perhaps, with all the outdoor shots we could additionally challenge ourselves to minimalize a particular subject?

MrsLubner... food is always a good subject. ;c)

That sounds good. Does anyone what to try food in a "less is more" style?  Take a look at dinner tonight...what can you do with an intriguing presentation? And if food is not your thing, what is there around you that peeks interest with a peek? LOL

Yes PJ,  I am in. :-) Food it fine for me :)  
But what if we already used our 3 images in this challenge?????

Helle, if you'd already done 3, I think we could allow one more for this side challenge. :-)  Go for it. :-)

**Geoaskier - welcome to the challenge forum. And a fabulous way to begin!

Kbrog - Stellar photo.
**

kbrog that is a wonderful green colored stone.

BobKemper wonderful flight shot in a small measure, I almost here it buzzing.

Pj mentioned food photo in a simply way, na this is my alley but I always fill up a screen, I might have a go at it to try it with less prop. Honestly I am greatly interested what others would come up with simply food photography. 

seeyus  Tunde

Yay ! I looked back and saw i only did 2, so i have 2 more to go ....  or...  !...  actually only one then .....or 

What a beautiful pictures, I already see coming over!
Stunning art work!
My compliments to those who have gone before me.
Here is my first one.

By the way, this is not my sink, which look not so squeaky clean ;-)
This was taken in the hospital toilet, haha

With warm greetings from Mies. :wub:

p.s. should I have done something wrong, then you can give me penalty. :scared:

Awww ! Alot has happened in here. Excellent to see.

I love that bud, Bob.  It is simply beautiful.

Gjeo, what a lovely landskape.

Kim , the stone is just so elegant.

Mies, that zink is just so....clean.   And a cute little bug, but I just love the bolt, lonely or not

OK, since no one is looking...teeheehee... and I'm having too much fun, I'd like to extend a FOUR Post limit instead of the three post limit to everyone. That way, I get a chance to see more, and say more and you all can have an extra shot at perfecting the art of Less Is More.

Tunde, I know food is your specialty and this might be the ultimate challenge for you because of that.  Love to see what you can do to feature food in a "less" way.

dochtersions - Those are 4 perfect examples you posted.  Each one combines different textures as well as a small feature that commands the attention.  Well done!

Wow! I love the clarity!  The shadow falls nicely to the front and that gives this a cleaner appearance with no shadow-halo. I am going to get out of bed soon and see if I can move around for awhile so I will try something "food" but I'm not very talented at it... but then, this is a challenge...

Love this radish so very much, Helanker.
(not to eat, grrr. it It pricks too much ;-))

HE; You are right, Chip and it is beautiful.

OJJJ!! We could have a thread with coins from all over the world and oldies too :-)
