I love this. Bravo!

I really like the feel to this image. I also like the negative space which in this case isn't just empty darkness, which is of course present. That empty darkness does support the feeling of this image and is in fact negative space. But to me just as important is the selective focus and perspective on the hand as the rest of the image is then less visually strong but still supportive and is "negative space" too.

If I have a nit it is one that I go back and forth about. It would be that the image is a slight bit flat in tones. On one side I'd prefer more contrast and tonal seperation but on the other the flat tones accentuate the feeling I think the photographer wanted conveyed. If that is the case and it is intentional then I don't see it as a nit at all.

I don't know if there is enough negative in this space but WHO CARES???? This is outstanding! High-High marks from me.

dramatic!
