A liitle too much negative space. I think a tighter crop would have made this better. Sharp and well exposed though.

Strong and effective use of negative space. Good technically too - strong composition without feeling forced.

too much negative space. Tighter crop would work way better here.

Cool shot. I think I would prefer a little less black. I would have cropped it in just a bit more. I like the reflections.

Nice exposure. Love the lights and colors. I like how the subject comes to a point on the left. The black negative space works well to make the rest pop.
