For this contest, I am understanding that negative space = the area surrounding the subject. In this image, that would be the sky, which just isn't interesting to me. The kite is cool, but that's the subject of the image - and there's nothing else that is interesting to look at. Maybe if there was an orange/pink sunset sky or something, I would like this better. Good luck in the contest.
Negative space should have a purpose. This is negative space for the sake of the challenge. I wish I could see those leading lines more. Use red string or something.
This is an intresting shot. Personal oppinion says that it lacks Wow factor, but I think my entry does as well. Composition here is good. Thinking about a polorizer for the sky but I am not sure it would workdue to the high clouds that seem to cause the illusion of a haze.
I love it. maybe a bit better up further into the corner? He's looking down toward the bottom left, so his eyes might go better further to the upper right. (just a tiny bit). 7
These fighting kites are so fun. I've only done kite fighting a few times, but what a great time. The photo is nice, too. I'd like to see more contrast perhaps to see that kite pop from the gray of the clouds--darker darks, lighter lights perhaps? neg. space is used very well here to orient the kite in its environment.
