LOvely idea and title. The gradual lightening of the image toward the top works well to imply many things. THumb is a little dark, but that's nitpicky!

Negative space is so interesting, it almost isn't negative space. Really gorgeous shot.

Gorgeous tones. THe white and sharpness of the flower creates the negative space behind. 10

Such marvelous tones for a B/W! Nice pose and capture, too. Move neg space would invite us to think more about the world the boy is in, too. 9

Neg. space here suggests that the butterflyis part of a larger world. Nice. Lighting is slightly harsh on the butterly--but only slightly.

Placing the bonzai center makes IT the focus and suggests that IT is what we should be looking at almost exclusively. Using the rule of thirds would invite us to also look at its environment and would suggest that it belongs in this mysterious, foggy world. Your choice, of course, but I would experiment with moving it to one side or the other. 7

Amazing water color--there's a good eye! Ducks are nicely placed so the attn is on the water. I wish the ducks were as clear and sharp as the water, though.
