Negative Space ( My Idea of negative space)

Even though it has bokeh in the background I feel that it qualifies as negative space that was my intention anyway

Works for me. Love it!
ok please don't take this question the wrong way but why does his bokeh work and mine doesn't? is it because mine isn't smooth like his? im really trying to understand not be for lack of a better word whiny.

No worries, just remember it's such a subjective topic, and I am no expert :) The background of this mushroom does not compete for attention IMHO. It is a pleasing color, mostly smooth texture (barely bokeh), and seems appropriate to the setting.
I think bokeh consisting of bright spots draws your eye away from the subject. I find myself wanting to know what the source of those bright spots are rather than spending more time with the flower. Also it just occurred to me that your flower is cropped quite close. Maybe if it took up less space in the frame?
Sorry if this was a bit of a hijack, hangman - but we're all struggling with the concept, and it's helpful to compare images, I think. Mariposa's:

I don't think you're going to get much disagreement about that. Terrific shot. :thumbup:

I agree. This boke is so subtle and smooth that's it's not competing with the subject.

Excellent! The negative space defines the subject in this shot. The dew or waterdrops on the mushroom are a wonderful bonus.
