Day 47 - Photo A Day Challenge - 2-16-2012

Welcome to Day 47 :) Today we are going to take a look at Negative Space. It is described as anything in the background that is not the focus of the photograph. So how much Negative Space is too much? How much attention do you pay to Negative Space when you crop ?
The following examples are in response to both questions.
Have you ever noticed how much negative space we actually have in photos ?
Generally we have Negative Space when there is only 1 subject ... I know I have a lot of it LOL ... let's see some of yours.

I love photos with a lot of 'negative space,' such as your cactus shot. Great shots; and I love all of your 'prairie dog' shots. Now that I know about 'negative space,' I realize that I take a lot of photos with negative space. So it won't be hard to find a submission. It is raining bad in GA today, so I surely won't be getting out.

Wonderful shots! The ducks are incredible! Do you remember your settings for that shot?

Photogrl57 i am a little confused. In drawing, negative space would be the space between the slats of a chair for example. But in photography it is the background space???? Do i have that right? ... whatever is not the focus or subject.

I think background can make or break a photo. It's always a treat when they come together. Here's a few I like just for that reason
Hey Folks, If you click on the download the photo will fill your screen, most of you know that but for the newbies, Thanks

Don't know whether this fits in or not, however an example here is sometimes I'll shoot with a lot of negative, with respecting THE THIRDS with the idea of PPing later if I need or want.
#1 is the ''mother shot''
#2 is cropped so as to get into The Thirds
#3 is a pano, cropped out to get width and deleting the negative
