This photo is all about negative space. I think the shapes in between the steel are more interesting than the structure itself.

Please Help
I’m running the 2014 Marine Corps Marathon for Wounded Warriors Family Support. If you’d care to help, I’d be VERY grateful. Here’s a link:

Nice !
I like the lines and the colors.
Thanks, Joe.
I love this picture! The blue is so pretty and the sculpture is framed so abstractly.
Thanks, Carrie. I was working with a new lens that day. No zoom feature, so it forced me to take shots differently. I’m happy with how it turned out.
Love that some clouds made it into the picture. I love the contrast between the hard and dark of the steel and the light softness of the white clouds.

Sara – that’s part of what makes the shot, I agree.
I agree with you about the negative space. I didn’t really get the picture but now that you have pointed out the negative space I have found myself just looking at it for about 5 min strait.
Heh… hope I didn’t make you late for anything important.
The shapes in the steel structure appears in black and white if you look closely. Great shot!
Yes, the sun was really beating down, making super dark shadows.
I often find the background more interesting than the foreground… this picture included. What a beautiful shot!
Thank you, Ami.
Interesting that I’ve just learned about the use of ‘negative space’ in composition yesterday, and here’s your pic utilizing negative space.
I did a photo of my daughter with lots of negative space that emphasizes the bokeh of the background of colorful christmas lights in a store’s show room.
Bokeh and negative space can be a very effective combination!
…but it’s too soon for Christmas lights!
But the mall’s show windows are already aglow with them and their speakers are blaring the usual christmas songs. ha ha…
Solid! I’m a fan of negative space. Love the black and blue.
