Rather than looking at the positive shape, I tried to concentrate on creating interesting negative spaces between the bamboo and the edges of the frame.

Absolutely great shapes created by the leaves and white space. The angle is good, and the positioning of the stem and pot in the frame very strong. Great image! 9, Kavey
According to my art school definition, this is one of the best uses of negative space. If you remove the subject, the other spaces are still interesting, Nice composition and colors all green. I wonder if the point that is in perfect focus is right- is that the focal point of the picture? I would have rather had the stub of the stem in focus or else the top leaf, instead of the iddle of the leaf stems. How about 9?
Great work I love this. Great color, composition and dof. Such a cool perspective. Neg Space: I believe that the white neg space most definately adds umph to this photo. Excellent work 10 Ruthann (update)
I like the use of neg spc in this shot. I especially like the way all of the lines and curves of the leaves lead the eye down into the "stalk" of the plant, and on to the bottle. Very interesting, and a very engaging composition. lhall-8
