blue and white windmill near white building

I started to like the minimalism style but it still is a bit too clean for my taste and that’s the reason why I disliked it at first. So I began to reflect what aspects actually are speaking to me. I came to the conclusion that the stripped down look and the clear backgrounds are important for the foreground to pop out. The foreground though is mostly too clean in my opinion. Additionally to the main subject just being colored contrasting to the background, a weathered look can draw the viewers eyes to the “epicenter” too. However, that’s my take on it and one does not exclude the other😊
