    Excellent use of negative space, reminding me of traditional Chinese art. The Einstein quote is spot on for me, as it also implies avoiding oversimplification…

    Unusual to put that that pitcher right at the bottom of the frame like that. It works.

    this is a perfect argument for not cropping. i love all the space around the elegant lines of that plant. the lines look like drawing.

    Ai… How fragile and how pretty is this image? It reminds of Japanese art with her simple and elegant linings.

    I believe, from my perspective, you’ve hit a stride with these minimalist photographs. From exposure to composition, this one rules.
