the colours are magnificient on this one! Definitely my favourite of the challenge. I like the play of light on the colours through the trees...its marbling with light. Gorgeous.

Summertime in Alata (Corsica)

Phillippe!

I was just looking at the challenge finishes since I didn't vote. I'm shocked to see you received NO comments on this, yet you must be wondering why this score. I like this shot for the following reasons:

the colours remind of the parched colours of summer, and the lines and dots of green bushes break up the monotone.

The problems I see with it are:

there isn't a significant point of interest and not enough in the shapes and lines we do see to keep attention. Its just sort of a background without a subject.

Overall, I think its a great effort for your first entry, congratulations on your socre, and I hope to see more from you soon! :) Don't be discouraged at the lack of comments, either! If all else fails, ask for some in the forums. Many people are happy to oblige.

fabulous use of negative space to create a sense of tension between the dog and the bone.

Dream a Little Dream

some people may not say this is negative space because of the lines in the bricks and the shadows, but really, its space around the kid and his tattered soccerball, and I really get the feeling he's dreaming of being the next pele or beckham. :)

cool shot, great focus, colour and lighting. Use of the sky as negative space is very well done as well, it really adds to the sense that this guy is flying!

great macro, though I can't say that I think he's defined by his negative space! I like the blank space in the shot though, it does bring attention to your subject.

Shadows and Panes

beautiful shadows and play of light. I wish they were falling on something more interesting than a bare wood floor.

Mt Rainier

the vast sky makes this massive mountain seem like a bump in the horizon - great juxtaposition. I think there is a bit too much sky however, its just a shade off balance..maybe if you shaved off the top cm of sky? :) (not that that is a great complaint, its still a fine shot!)
