Bo-Kaap minimalism #4, a photo from Western Cape, West

Photographer's Note

It is time to continue with my minimalism series from the district Bo-Kaap in Cape Town. A blue building with a lamp post and its shadow that`s all - less is more would be the motto here, I guess.

Hej Erling,
Den h舐 bilden 舐 ju helt fantastisk. Hade du inte n舂nt den bl� v臠gen hade jag kunnat tro att lampan sv舸ade fritt i himlen (men skuggan blir ju v舁digt konstig). Det 舐 en otroligt elegant och enkel bild och mycket smart komponerad.
H舁sningar fr蚣 Stockholm.

Hello Erling,
Nice, bold simplicity in this photo. I like the shadows and the texture of the wall. The light fixture almost looks like it's floating in a sea of blue.

Hello Erling,
Another fantastic minimalist photo, the blue background works really well for the white lamp and its shadow is great too and looks more like a bell than a lamp. The composition you chose was perfect too.

Hello Erling
We had to wait too long for the continuation of your splendid series of minimalism. But the result is worth to wait for.
Less is more, but too less is too little. That concerns the number of your pictures not the minimalism of you pictures, of course.

Erling,
I keep trying to figure out how the light is suspended in the clear blue sky and how it's possible to get a shadow in the sky.?!

Great composition and evidence of an excellent eye!

Cheers,
Andy

Hello Erling,

I have to say, well seen.
Not everyone would have recognised this as a possible pleasing photograph but the lamp, its shadow and the textured wall make a good combination.

I hope you don't mind but I have offered a w/s as a possible change to your composition.
I always like figures and features to be facing into a shot rather than out of it.
I hope you like it.

My warm regards,
Bev :-)

Ciao Erling
un bellissimo minimalismo, due colori e un'ombra, tutto molto equilibrato e di grande effetto visivo.
Mi piace anche la versione del ws.
Buon we
