An attempt at minimalistic art.
Not expecting too many favourites on this. I used a technique while shooting this photo to blur all the trees, but have them remain the same shape and color. This removes all detail and really reduces the scene into its defining shapes, which is the approximate definition of minimalism :) The colors, shapes, and overall feel reminds and the viewer of a forest and gives them a sense of what the scene felt like (I hope :paranoid:).
Anyways, this photograph is on the borderline between Abstract and Landscape, but since I was going for an actual scene, I decided to place it in the latter.
Entry into =vulcania's MINIMALISM contest. Hope I do well.
