This is actually a classic use of positive vs negative space. The sky and the reflected sky are negative, the landscape and its reflection are positive. For those who don't understand, this is the cliched example of how that works:

Is it that you are the only one who understood the assignment, or do multiple definitions of negative space co-exist?

Nice scene, but I can't figure out how negative space plays into this. Because it's vast and open? Very nice spot though.

Lovely, but I don't really see the use of negative space.

This is a lovely scene, great exposure, with just enough interesting and eye flow from top to bottom finishing on those leaves on the rocks below.

You joust! Great feeling of motion / crash / speed - the moving horses/riders contrast with the still observers - like they're holding their breath to see what the outcome will be.
