The main object of the composition (in this case the shell) must be in focus in order for the whole idea to work.

Comment by Gene L.:
Because I believe that this is an honest and artistic endeaver from someone who understands art, I am going to give my full and honest response to this photo. I think I understand the concept of negative space, but I'm not so sure that it works with this particular subject. Possibly because I don't get a great sense of depth from the subject, which leaves me with the impression of a semi-circular object in the corner of a dark frame. My attention is drawn to it very effectively (good use of negative space), but the object itself lacks the pizazz needed to keep my interest. This may simply be the lighting or it may be the physical object. Even so I score it high for artistic and creative vision, but not as high as it might have, given a better subject or a better view of this subject.

Good study on the rule of thirds... The shell, being such a small piece of this image, is hiding it's textures in its size... = 6 - jmsetzler

Meets the "texture" challenge, but I find all that black space disconcerting.

I would like to see more of the shell for it to fit with the texture theme for this week
