Minimalism is a great thing to engage in, I think. You can do great things with it, such as flattening spaces, which is kind of what’s happening here. There’s a line along where the person is standing, suggested by their placement and the placement of the vegetation, but beyond that, it’s almost as though the dune is a flat, featureless space.
This is my submission into the three hundred-and-ninetieth Lens-Artists Photo Challenge. The theme for this one is “Color in Black and White“. I think this one works in terms of land and sky, as the sky is likely to be interpreted as being a sort of blue, and the sand close to a yellow, both of which were the case when this photo was taken.
The host of the Lens-Artists challenges cycles weekly between the following people:
This one is curated by Egídio. The next one is curated by Tina.
I recommend joining the community and participating in the challenges. They’re pretty straightforward, allow room for interpretation, and provide a good way to think about photography in general. If not, however, then at the very least you should check out what others submit to the challenges.
I hope you enjoy.
