Besides being a very cute baby, this is good use of negative space Her hand is lovely on the black and the angle of her head and body bend in an interesting way. 8

Well the bug has got the neg space concept anyways. But I'm not judging on neg space since no one has it- sooo this is a nice photo anyways. Lovely colors, nice focus, bug makes good contrast.

According to my art school definition, this is one of the best uses of negative space. If you remove the subject, the other spaces are still interesting, Nice composition and colors all green. I wonder if the point that is in perfect focus is right- is that the focal point of the picture? I would have rather had the stub of the stem in focus or else the top leaf, instead of the iddle of the leaf stems. How about 9?

This is the kind of picture that doesn't do well on crappy monitors. I think that explains a lot of your poor marks. I wish you had submitted the cropped versions I saw afterwards. I bet you do too.

This neg space works for me! The shapes made by the wire ARE the focus of the photo. Yep, good! 9

I'm changing my vote on this one. First I gave it a 5. Seemed like waay to much space, and not my art school definition of negative space. But the image has stuck with me. Last night I woke up in the middle of the night and thought "I know what it is". Where I live, there iss NEVER that much space. It all gets filled in with trees and bushes and telehone poles and such. The whole point of the picture IS the space, and the cows are the secondary part. Great picture! sorry I'm just so slow. Must be why people on the coasts are attracted to the sea, it's the only place that isn't cluttered with nature. 9

This is a pet peeve of mine - straighten the horizon, especially on water, gravity does.
