When everyone gives up on you, don't lose heart. It is that very point from where you hit bottom, a V-Shaped Recovery happens. The same happens in the economy and the stock markets. I am sure many of us have seen those examples unfold in front of us many-a-times before. 

So next time you feel that all is over, feel a little upbeat and hopeful. You might just be hovering near bottom. Life has the tendency to average out either extremes and everything eventually reverts to mean. I used the downward trending red line of a textured wall (texture representing struggle) to make it visibly connect to the starting point of an upward curving street light thus creating the alphabet "V". The upward curve lies in clear blue skies, signifying good times. To compose, I used random twisting and turning of the camera in my hand to the point where I could visually connect the line and the curve.

This shot was taken at a Petrol Pump on Ajmer Road, Jaipur. Another Look-up Minimalist Photo that I took on that pump was this Sky is the Limit

This shot I took at a petrol pump. I had to ask permission from the owner for it. I shoot at random locations and that is how you should shoot as well to find interesting shots. What made me stop at the filling station was the excitingly colored roof. I applied the usual rule of thirds and placed the red line at the bottom and the blue bar on top right, leaving ample space for the sky. That is just about the ingredients you need for a Minimalism as Less Elements Minimalist Image.

The message here is that once you cross the initial hurdles in life (where most people give up) or the Red Line, then no one can stop you from being successful. Sky is the limit for you.
