I'm a little lost on the 'negative space' concept in this photo... - jmsetzler

This is definitely a neat shot... I thought this was a big water drop from the thumbnail :) I can't make up my mind on the composition... I'm wondering if I would like this shot better in a vertical frame where the candle filled more of the bottom... at any rate, the negative space works nicely here and this is a good shot :) - jmsetzler

I see your intention here for negative space. I can't really say that the image inspires me much though. - jmsetzler

This is quite beautiful :) The moon's presence in the image adds an extremely nice touch... If an eagle or a condor or some other large bird was coming in for a landing here, that would be just amazing too :) great shot... = 9 - jmsetzler

nice wall for a sign
by vratt

Comment:
Interesting shot... My comment here is regarding the negative space... The wall here being considered negative space is ok, but the support it lends to the sign as the subject isn't what I expected. IMO, negative space should not draw any attention away from your subject... it should support it. In this photo, the wall offers a lot of contrast with the lines, colors, and textures. IMO, this creates competition for viewing time with the subject... - jmsetzler

very nice image... I love the starkness of it all... the high key lighting and washout seems to contradict a bit with the expression here.. i'm not sure how they relate.. I would love to hear more about it :) = 9 - jmsetzler

Negative Mapplethorpe
by Alecia

Comment:
I like the concept on this photo and I am familiar enough with Mapplethorpe to understand where you are going with this photo. I scored this a 6. This particular image falls into a category of photography that I don't care much for. When I look at this, I ask myself, 'Is this a photograph'? This falls into my category of Digital Art rather than digital photography, even though both are digital art. This image, to me, doesn't resemble a photograph. The negative space here is definitely well defined and present in the image. The photo also has merit as artwork. :) - jmsetzler
