LOL. Title is funny. Too bad you had to explain the it in itself, but funny nonetheless. The shot is well composed, though I would like it to be pulled back just a bit to allow for more of that triangle shape on the left. Wish that blasted bush would move out of the way too, but not recommending that you chop it down or anything. :-) 6, just-married

The architecture/shapes sell this image to me. I'm glad the flag is not in the center of the frame. 6 sjgleah

Comment by GeneralE:
Thanks for all your comments. I think hbunch has my interpretation most correct -- this is a "negative" space in the societal as well as photographic context. Those tetherballs are surrounded by a space which should be filled with kids -- since I shot it right in the middle of the school day it's amazing I got a shot with no one in it except someone way off in the distant trees. I darkened the overall look to make it more depressing-looking; maybe a brightly-lit daytime scene with no kids would be better? You can link to the unaltered frame at:

Everyone's gone home. Good shot. I like how the dark look is used in this shot to show that it's past curfew. good job. 7
