I will probably change this later. Hopefully I will have some more time to get a better go at this one Well, I don't know how minimalistic this is, but I found I liked this one better.
Well,I suffered through this and came to the conclusion, that although I liked my other entry, it just wasn't minimalistic enough. So here is the lowly watering can. I catch the rain in it and then water my flowers.
C&C welcomed as always

Cool shot, Jane! I love the interesting shapes and colors. The title is great, too. RGB rather that CMYK. Like my shot, it may not be "minimal" enough for this WA but it's a beautiful photo anyhow! Bravo!
Very creative shot Jane. I really like the captured reflection. The image has a very abstract feel, but I think it has a minimalistic approach in considering that it is only one element of glass.
Ok, you changed the image, so ignore everything above!
Another terrific entry. I particularly like the feeling of the dark and stormy background. You can almost see a twister forming in the lower left. Gives a great mood for the watering can which is very stark and minimal in B&W.

Hi Jane,
You have done it again capturing the theme as well as capturing the subject.
You have kept it interesting with out all the extras.
Very nice job!

Very interesting shot, I like the subtle lighting approach. The galvanized texture on the water can is very cool. The handle is a little distracting for me, but what do I know. How did you light this one?

Hi Wilson. It was in a large white light box. Ambient light only. I played around with the spot metering so as to get some dramatic lighting. I also played around with the post processing. I liked this particular shot because of the handle. The largeness of it compared to the mass of the can itself I think makes for a wonderful perspective. I had oiginally processed it to accentuate that, but changed my mind. And Robert helped with a technique of his. Thanks for taking the time to comment. Maybe you won't find the handle so distracting with this last edit
Jane
As much as I liked the other shot, Jane, this one is a lot better. I love the perspective and the curve of the handle is simply gorgeous! The B & W works perfectly, too. I'm afraid you (and also Robert's photo) have got mine beat this week Anyway, as always, Bravo!!
I like the artistic eye you have. Nice job. It really fits the theme. I came to the conclusion that the only way I could win a prize with one of my entries is if everybody else forgot to enter. Well, enough self deprecation.
Good job.

Beautiful shot. Love the arc of the handle and how it cradels what looks like a heart shaped mouth. Nicely done with the lighting. Should do well.
Gotsy, I always appreciate your "visits" I just love the shape of this can and its texture. I have photographed it before and will probably do it again. There are so many possibilities.

Peter, I didn't comment on your comment because it was for a previous post. But didn't want you think I was ignoring you

Jane........consider this a comment on your comment on my comment
being the minimalistic person that i am, i'm ok if ignored
(ok...i'm lying)
anyways.....................i like the watering can image, fits the theme well. The fun in the image is the cropping, when i look at it i picture the rest of the object in various ways.
very nice
as always

I've really had a hard time this week, deciphering people's 'understanding' of minimalism. No trouble with yours. Minimalism is all about stripping right down to the fundamental features or structures. The greys & background really enhance that, especially the curve. Bravo.
Well, I don't know how minimalistic this is, but I found I liked this one better.

Anyway, as always, Bravo!!
