breaking the cycle of negativity
by PennyStreet

Comment:
The term positive space in photography is only ever used to refer to the positive/negative space relationship and with that in mind this is genius. You have managed to use a colorful busy background to add interest to the subject. Everything about the subject is amazing. The pose, the facial expression and the wonderful shirt that ties the whole thing together. Brilliant in so many ways. Easy 10.

Team Spleen would like to award you with our highest award, The Spleen Queen.

Amazing detail and the subject stands out nicely with the white background.

Let the sun shine in

This is just gorgeous. The colors are beautiful and the light from your subject is enhanced by the surrounding darker and partially blurred background. The bright line of light coming out diagonally from the left lower corner, the hanging moss, the twigs and rocks on the right side. All are so wonderful. This is a perfect example of the negative space enhancing the positive space and is IMO an ideal entry for this challenge. I voted on this before I knew whose it was so I am leaving my score.

The diagonal wires, the criss cross wires and large smooth arches all make an exciting composition nestled in the deep tones of the left upper corner and contrasting bright light of the right lower corner. And then there are interesting shadows and shapesâ€Â¦..and people. So nice.

The earth torn up and flying everywhere. Smoke obscures. An allegory for our time?

So many pleasing little pictures in this one. Love the ripples through the bike and rider. The repeating vertical line with the crossing diagonals are oddly satisfying.

This is pretty interesting with the truck and car in the car mirror and the car reflected in the truck. Nice catch and nicely processed to give a pleasing compositions and lots of interesting shapes. Even some drips on the truck for those of us that love drips. Topped off with a fabulous title.
