For those of you that have posted questions about Negative Space... I had posted this link in the contest thread because it had helped me to understand negative space a bit better. If you missed it here it is again...
Apogee Photo Magazine, June 1996, Composition, Part 2
This blurb from the second page helped me...
Negative space is not just the absence of something. It has weight and mass, and plays an important role in defining your subject.
There are some amazing photos this month... and people have viewed negative space differently in some aspects but that is what ART is all about..
