Weekly Photo Challenge : Minimalist
In this week’s challenge, Jen set this task – to show a minimalist photo.
She said, in part, “Minimalist photography is characterized by a large portion of negative space, a fairly monochromatic colour palette with good contrast, and an interesting subject that is able to stand on its own to capture the interest of the viewer.”
My submission is this beautiful single Calla Lily (Zantedeschia), photographed from directly above, on a dark table, with the base of the vase barely visible!
You can find the whole story of minimalist photography, and many of the entries, here at The Daily Post

The St Andrew’s Cross Spiders (Argiope keyserlingi), are so named for their bright web decorations which roughly resemble the Cross of St Andrew. They are non aggressive, and low risk (non toxic) to humans. The pine needle visible in the top photo is just nuisance value when the menu calls for insects, even up to twice its size!
