As Joe said: "Negative space is nothing more than the 'empty space' in an image or composition. For the most part, the subject or focal point of the composition is the positive space. Every composition has positive and negative space. A very crowded or busy composition has very little negative space. A very simple or plain composition has a lot of negative space. Negative space doesn't have to be black or white either." And wiki says that negative space: "is the space around and between the subject(s) of an image. Negative space may be most evident when the space around a subject, and not the subject itself, forms an interesting or artistically relevant shape, and such space is occasionally used to artistic effect as the "real" subject of an image. The use of negative space is a key element of artistic composition." And here we have Utata's take on negative space. We think you'll enjoy this one ... it's really most excellent in the eye candy department. A special feature of this project is the ability to have either a white or a black background for your photo. A white background is the default, so if you would like a black background for your photo, add the tag "utata:color:black" (with the colons) to your photo in addition to the project tag "utataspace".
