 My wife perched precariously atop our 3 story house in her karate ghee. We raided my daughter's sword collection :O)

This was a quick shot - took all of about 15 min, start to finish. Had a LOT of different options in post... still not sure i made the right choice! Hope so!

very strong shapes on the bottom allow you to get away with all that empty space up top. It's important to understand that you succeed in spite of all that space, not because of it.

I like the idea. If I would have done it I would have made a jump of some kind and cropped out the houses to just have that white background only.

too much non-subject. the 'negative' space here doesn't give the subject any context, or add to the photo...
