I think this telephone pole has a couple of friends with it to keep it company in the vast emptiness of the land all around it. A photo with just the one telephone pole in it wouldn't be nearly as interesting. You chose good subject matter! |

I take so many shots of the pavement as I go walking that I immediately recognized this view as looking down! Now I'm trying to view it as a wall, and it does make it an interesting photo either way! Reminds me about the possibilities for how I point my camera. |

I'm so sorry about your brother-in-law being buried there. I think everyone who visits this cemetery feels the seriousness of war and the heavy burden it placed on these people who lost their lives. The design of the cemetery and the placement of the headstones and trees on the hills is an amazing sight. |

Thanks for the editing tip. I know that white halo line happened during post editing. I should notice it sooner and not apply whatever effect I was doing so strongly in order to avoid the problem in the first place. I had forgotten about that. It is so time consuming to fix it afterward especially around tree branches. |

Welcome to our group, Melissa! I like the image you chose for your first with us. It definitely uses the negative space concept to add a somber mood to the picture. And it makes the man seem small. And all that blankness adds to my feeling that he is having a hard time with his life. |

Wow, an image taken indoors with negative space! Hard to find! The man's gaze looking down also seems to keep me looking down, down, down into your image. A nice change of pace from our usual images of looking straight at something. Here's my edited version where I darkened all around the person in order to reduce the distractions of the many light areas. I think my eye now concentrates a little more on the man and his smallness within the negative space of that "room." |

The large empty areas of the image qualify it as a negative space image. The background expanse of sky enhances the smallness of the bale of hay. Changing the image to black and white gives you the chance to include the telephone pole and little barrel in the composition as wonderful secondary items of interest. All together, the sky and the items form a picture with some mystery to it. And that keeps us looking longer at the picture. On my monitor the image looks overall a little darker than I would've made it. |

Your cute little dandelion looks so small and lonely, so I think this is a fine example of using negative space to set it off and give it that feeling. The addition of the dirt "grout"! makes me laugh because it actually looks really good there! I myself take similar photos almost every time I go for a walk on this kind of pavement, so I especially appreciate finding these gems in places that otherwise aren't picturesque. I'm impressed with your final lighting, because the image doesn't look like a plain ol' snapshot of the ground taken in bright sunlight. |
