Thanks Posthumous for comming back and commenting. Ya, I should've ditched the square crop and made the thimble smaller to emphasize the negative space. I have some better ideas for Negative Space IV.
Sorry hipychik, but I can't flag your comment as helpful. Maybe it is helpful in the fact that the title is too obscure, but that's what I was kinda going for. It's a reference to Peter Pan.

| just to expand on my cryptic comment, there is of course negative space in this photo. The trouble is that the squared-off shape of your subject doesn't make that negative space interesting. Usually, negative space is emphasized when it has its own shape. The classic example is two faces looking at each other. The space between the two faces looks like a vase. See the wikipedia entry for negative space. |

| I like it! This proves how beautiful something so simple can photograph! This is a great choice for a photo like this because there's such texture and detail in the thimble. |

This is, unfortunately one time where keeping it simple hasn't done you any favours. The lighting here is a bit flat and the thimble could be sharper. I'd try playing around a bit more with curves and contrast - perhaps a touch of USM too.
All the best with future challenges. |

| Could be a little sharper on the thimble. Try increasing contrast a little and see if that helps the image stand out better. Your whites are a lttle gray... might be able to fix that in levels. |

| I wonder how many people got your KISS acronym... "keep it simple stupid" and the thimble in Peter Pan? Took a few seconds to put it all together for me. |
