That certainly is minimalist! It would fit the PUG theme of the month -- less is more. I like it very much. I agree that the twig enhances the image quite a bit. Just the head alone would be too bland. Dan Matyola http://www.pentaxphotogallery.com/danieljmatyola On Sun, Nov 5, 2017 at 10:39

I think the head of the turtle is too centered, and it would be nearly as minimalist if it were twice as large in the frame but easier to recognize. On 11/5/2017 10:39 AM, PhotoCapturesbyJeffery.com wrote: This lovely turtle stuck its head up out of the waters of Radnor Lake here in

G'day all, I think Dan has the most literal interpretation of this month's theme :-) but, overall Don's 'Snowfog' is my favourite closely followed by Pat's 'Sea & Sky' and Mark's 'Aero'. All very enjoyable - view here: http://pug.komkon.org/ (you may need to refresh your browser if you see

It is a nice gallery, with several very interesting and pleasing interpretations of the theme. I also like Don's "Snowfog" a lot, but perhaps my favorite is "Wiggle" by Brian Walters. Very minimalist, very well seen, and very well composed. "At White Sands" by Ken Waller is also outstanding, to
