I don't see ANY negative space here. Otherwise, it is an uninteresting shot. It IS in focus, but the cropping should have dealt with the adult on the right. 2 Jak

Fabulous picture, but I see no negative space -- certainly no negative space that is a "wow!" Again, I love the capture but it doesn't met the challenge as I understood it.

I give you my highest possible non-compliant score. 4 Jak

My first reaction is to give a 9. However, I don't care for the lower line of clouds in that position. Great shot, though! 8 Jak

But what is the negative space here? The picture seems filled with positive subject matter. 3 Jak.

But then I thought about it some more and, yes, the seeds are clearly negative space if the ladybug is the desired subject. However, in this case,t he negative space is too positive to accentuate the bug in any way. Nice idea though once I'd thought it through. 5 Jak
