I cant press enough how a name for a photo can change how we look at it.
You did a great job with the explanation of this one. :)

Just one question, don't you think the picture itself look quite busy for a minimalistic expression? I agree a lot with the fact that normally unnoticed subjects are worthy of being shot :D I would just not go as far and name these kinds of photo's " minimalistic" I think there are a LOT of details in the unnoticed. Look at all those cracks in the street for instance, for ants they are the equivalent of the grand canyon for us!
