What is simplistic minimalism? A style or technique that is characterized by extreme spareness and simplicity. Well that's what Webster's Dictonary says anyway.
In photography, minimalism can lead to very bold and dramatic photos. You don't always need a lot of “stuff” to fill a scene. Sometimes less is more. Make your subject a strong focal point. Check out this web article for more details on photographic minimalism: http://digital-photography-school.com/minimalism-in-photography
So for this challenge, take photos that have a minimalistic feel, that are simple but really draw the eye in.
