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?
