A Pigeon passing by a metal fence at Albert Hall Museum, Jaipur.


First, I composed the Zigzag Fence for the frame. Then I waited for the pigeon to walk into my frame near the "Rule of Thirds" area, in one of the inverted V's made by the fence.

During editing, I measured the crop required at both ends of the frame for the fence, to further enhance the symmetrical alignment.

As far as the Minimalism Classification goes, this Minimalist Photo falls under the Minimalism as in Small Objects category. 

The Small Object being the Pigeon (main subject).

A Simple Minimalist Photograph of a Pigeon Sitting on a Red / Orange wall versus the Long Shadow of a Water Outlet, shot at Jawahar Kala Kendra, Jaipur.


This Photograph comes from an old Album that has a lot of pictures captured at JKK or Jawahar Kala Kendra Jaipur.

I was checking that folder to see how the walls used to look back then, as all of them were Red/Orange in Color.

But Now, most of the walls at this place have been painted to a dull brown-beige kind of a color. 

I really do not like the new paint color. Sometimes because of the new color the vibe doesn't feel the same as it used to be and I ask myself this question "Is this place Jawahar Kala Kendra designed by Charles Correa?" or just any other Art Center?

Anyways, lets leave aside that color talk and take a look at the some the highlight of the Minimalist Photograph below.
