Set with negative space (too much of it for some folks' liking)
But I do this every time there's fog.
Thanks to Graham for ideas on editing the last one.

Being a very positive person I struggle with anything at all negative, particularly space. I see see the negative space in this image as positively negative ;)

In the spirit of Graham's entiment re : negative space, it can often provide, in a positive manner, a plenitude of cropping options!

It appears as a positive frame-up to me.

I love that you posted this. Thank you for the visual options. Perhaps another thread will take us to the world of cropping options - when, why where.

You're welcome, wowbmw,
And remember, a horizontal flip doubles your options!

Edie, this is a beautfiul photo. You framed it so well. I think this would be a great photo to use in a discussion about the difference between framing and composition.

Entry for negative space
I love this image, Dave. I love the way the light is falling, I love how tiny that boat is in the great big sea ... but .. I would lose the sky completely.

Thanks very much. I think I understand what you mean by framing - the black that I painted around the subject. What is the juxtaposition between framing and composition? I have seen paintings and photos in which the artist extends the picture past the frame.
