John,
You succeeded in finding minimal. I like the contrast and angles of the black and white and the two windows. The image looks a little grainy and windows a little soft. I wonder if it could use noise reduction and or sharpening. It may, however, just been my screen.

Hi John: At first glance I thought it was two eyes that were half closed. Nice leading line to the second "eye" which appears to be soft. In your minimalistic image, however, that would indicate a repeating pattern. The textured background adds interest as well. Posted: 05/11/2025 22:12:06
