I know some people are probably commenting about the "black negative space". It was talked about in the forums as being uninteresting, or something. However, i really like it here. I think it was applied very nicely. He seems to be welcoming in the darkness. I love the angle and framing. Originality a plus, creativity however is lacking. Very nice that it is not dead center. Lighting worked perfectly for the effect. Overall great job. Good luck in the challenge. 7 ~Hbunch7187~

Just toss this comment on the top of your already high pile of praise. Great concept, execution and photographers talent. This is a beautiful, timely tribute. Those few who feel you shouldn't have "used" 9/11 only need to go into the grocery store to see the commercialization of the 9/11 tragedy -- bouquet after bouquet of red white & blue carnations, red, white & blue roses with glitter -- red, white and blue cookies! You'd think it was the 4th of July! Your tribute was very reverent and I applaud you - there's no comparison.

I wanted to thank everyone for the all the comments! To those who said landscape would be better, I agree....it's just that I had this reflection thing going so I didn't do any landscape takes. Good luck to everyone in the "negative" challenge! Jakob
