Thanks all! Those that pointed to the red rosary clashing with the flowers were dead on right... I never noticed and this has sat in my house for 5 years now :)
What I was aiming for with this was the whole "light in the darkness" thing and Jesus being referred to (by Christians) as the "Light of the World"... Thus the darkness = negative space that will be "filled"... Yeah, I know, it didn't quite get there... I considered two possible reshoots....
1 ~ A bright spot light beam coming from the upper right hand side, or... 2 ~ A small cross in the upper right...
I think this could be a better photo if not trying to force the negative space aspect. Colors are strong, but the red in the rosary and the red of the petals are not of the same hue, and that causes some uneasiness. I'll meet you halfway with a 5, because I think the photo is technically pretty good, and somewhat meets the challenge.
Very good use of negative space. I like the placement of the object too. If the red rosary had been left off, it would have been a better shot. It clashes with the flowers.
