Good use of neg space, but imo this could use a little brightning and contrast. For me this comes out rather "dull" in a lighting sense. Good composition. jano

Thanks for the heads up Maurice! I replaced the image with one below the maximum file size (and yes...lost some detail).

The grass works well as negative space, I'm amazed how much detail there is, but it can make the file size large! Maurice

Thanks RK and Doug! Doug I used PhotoMatrix Pro to create this HDR image. The process really helps control tough lighting situations and I highly recommend it.

Just a hint of reflection in the blue portion of the ball. Exposed well especially for such strong light. -Doug

I too like the grass filling the frame as negative space. - RK

Thanks CJ and TV! CJ, I put a B&W version in Pending. I don't think I like it as much as the color version. I'd be interested in your opinion though! Cheers!

I too like the grass filling the negative space. The texture is important to fill the frame. -tv

Grass can be "negative space"! It might be interesting to try this in Black& White. CJ
