Hey, I wear those same socks! Well, not THOSE socks specifically of course, but I buy this KIND of sock! so 10 points for you! Just kidding. Nice shot, nice lighting, neg space implies more body, but darkness adds mystery. Super work, but only 9. After looking at all my nines, I\'m changing this to a 10. Congratulations!--Wait. After looking at the other 10s, I decided to put this back to a 9. Wait again. It really does belong in the 10s. Sorry for all of my waffling. 10
I did not enter this challenge because I was unclea about negative space and what that meant. Your shot is however what I imagined it to be, more than any of the other shots. Very nice job. I even like your choice of sox, with how the "C" is placed. Lighting is great and idea is creative.
An amusing shot, effectively captured. Well done for making your nackground so uniformly black. Great lighting. I'd say that the 'wow' factor here is definitely in the -ve space. 8
