Minimalistic Coziness
The simpler the composition the more important detail becomes. Where there is less and less detail the more important detail is. The Zen image is striving for perfection and if it misses it by a fraction of a percent it has not achieved its goal.
This photographer has distilled their composition down to simple lines and geometric shapes. Our focus of attention is drawn to the lightest areas in most images and this one is no exception. I like the use of straight lines; it reminds me of the modern architecture of the 1950’s and 60’s, very Frank Lloyd Wright.
I would like to point out that the edge of the shade is not vertical and thus has a tendency to through off the theme of the composition. Also the photo-artist may want to consider changing the proportions of the illustration to a square format which would reduce the amount of window shade and add to the premise of geometric shapes.

Jim I totally agree, how simple a new crop adds a totally different dimension to the scene. It helps tremendously to the non vertical edge of the shade and brings the whole scene together in a more harmonic way. Thank you for your comment which has proven to be very helpful. Jorge
