I really like minimalist images, Hamed. The B&W treatment works nicely for this one. The rock looks a tad soft, but the image still works.

Simple and effective. Often less is more. Well done, Hamed.

This an artistic image, but it doesn't really work for me. Probably just personal preference.

I like this. The contrast between the rock and softer waves works well for me but I'm not wild about the vertical crop. Theres a sense of flow here I feel the vertical treatment inhibits. A very peaceful image

Hi Hamed,
I'd have liked more negative space on the sides to make this more minimalistic.
I like how you rendered the water.
The rock does look quite soft on my screen too.

Hamed,
I often don't consider the title when considering an image but, in this case, I think the title carries a lot of meaning with the composition. If feels right that "the one" is centered, at least in the horizontal. The contrast of the rock's dark, heavy tones against the lighter water also feels right. I also like how there is enough of a sense of movement in the water texture to balance the stillness of "the one".
I wrote the above before reading the comments and Nancy's comment regarding the crop made me think further on why I like it. I think it's because a wider view would make the flow seem to surround the rock. IMHO, the crop seems to separate "the one" partially from its surroundings and so it is consistent with the effect of the light-dark contrast and movement-stillness effect. In other words, the choices made in processing the image feel consistent with how I perceive it.
To anyone reading, please note I am not debating Nancy's comment at all. It just made me think a little more about my own response.
Brad
