This week, Amy is our host, and she wants us to show the importance of negative space in our photography. Negative space is the area around the main subject of your photograph. (Which means that your main subject is the positive space) Check out her post, see brilliant examples and learn more about this!
Positive and negative space are two important tools for us to give an enhanced emotional feel to our images, which is essential in photography. Looking forward to seeing your choices!
Our special thanks to Rusha Sams for hosting last week’s Labor of Love. We had so many positive and uplifting experiences of genuine love and care!
Be sure to check out Tina’s Travels and Trifles post next week as she hosts Challenge #115.
And, as always – may you stay safe and well. Our thoughts these days go especially to all of you out there fighting the wild fires.

Your negative space images are simply wonderful, Ann-Christine, one of the best I have seen. Love the compositions, the muted colours and the calming effect of the coastal scenes. Hope you’re well, my dear. 💕
Thank you, Dina, your comments mean the world to me.
My mother unexpectedly passed away last week, and we were in shock all. It is just starting to calm down, and I want to think this was a blessing for her. She did not have to suffer in the end. Her heart gave in, and it took only some hours – we managed to come in and sit with her. Two people were allowed there. As she suffered from Alzheimers, but still lived in her home thanks to her husband and me, we are grateful she did not have to end up in a home for elderly these days of corona.
Hope you are all well in Cley. Sending my warmest thoughts.
Such wonderful photos 🙂
Thank you, Julie!

Every image is so special Ann Christine.
Thank you, Rupali.
Beautiful choices. Your images showcase how mood can be set by negative space. The water/beach photos especially! As always, your photos are stunning.
Thank you for your kind and beautiful comment!
You are most welcome 🙂
Like the way the photos had the examples and the way you provided another aspect of negative space:
provides a natural balance against the positive space in a scene.
Thank you!

Really like your beautiful images of negative space, especially the opener with the airplane and the ‘lonely’ scene.😊
Glad you liked them, Sylvia! I believe they are the most popular ones this time.
Stunning photographs this week, Leya. I adore the peacefulness of the first photo.
The blue is beautiful. The kitty made ms smile. I have two fur children so I adore kitties.
The bird perched at the edge of the roof is a fantastic capture. Have a wonderful week … Be Safe
Isadora 😎
Thank you – and lucky you having two kitties!
Excellent examples. Love the cat….and wonder why it didn’t choose to sit on the bench!
So I wondered too!
Fantastic images, Ann-Christine 👏 Love the header image with the plane taking off, and the landscape is truly stunning 😃
Thanks – a lucky day that day!
beautiful images, as always! 🙂
❤
Beautiful images. I especially love the coastal scene
Glad you like them, Su. That evening in Spain was magical.
You are so good at this, Ann-Christine.
That was a great comment – I will keep it in my heart tonight!
❤
Hi Leya
I like how you say this: Space is to give your photos a sense of calmness and subtlety. The mood of your cat is most calm and the color palette soothing..
Here’s my submission. It’s a variation on your theme

Best, Babsje
Thank you, and glad to see you again, Babsje! I like the cat too. He seemed so content there.
You’re welcome. He looks so serene one can almost hear the loud and contented purring. Best, Babsje
;-D
😊

Love the way that bird is just standing on one foot:)
Isn’t it a treat? I loved that too – if you look closely on the photo you can see it has started to rain! Maybe that is why he’s on one foot only?
Great photos Ann-Christine particularly the plane and the tree. That photo is absolutely stunning and I hope you framed it.
Thank you very much, Paulie – I just happened to be there the right moment!
hi a. c., wonderful idea and pictures you found, i like them very much.
best regards robert
Glad you liked them, Robert!
Beautiful images for the challenge Ann-Christine and I especially love your photo of the cat 💜
Thank you! Many of you found the cat lovely – I am glad!
Stunning images, Ann-Christine. So uplifting, joyful, and inspiring. That first shot is a stunner!
Thank you, Patti – I have such vivid memories of that aeroplane shot!
It’s lovely, AC. Very beautiful.
Great choices for the challenge! I especially liked the one with the cat. You captured the cat’s personality, but also that of the bench and the wall.
Glad you liked that one!
Truly beautiful, AC! Thank you so much for showing us the possibilities of capturing negative space photos. Great series, I love it!
So glad you like them, Amy – it was fun choosing what to post for this challenge!
Lovely choices, Ann-Christine. That bird is so cute and yes, it might be lonely and waiting for friends to come haha
😀
Great choices Ann-Christine!
Thank you, Aletta!
Great choices, but my favorite is the big sky with the jet climbing out.
Ha, yes I see…quite the shock when it suddenly came up over the snow and ice, and the tree standing there alone.
Love the clicks.The negative spaces you included are excellent!
Happy to hear you liked them!
Some lovely images, my favourite is the irises, negative space produced by Bokeh
Thank you, Sue- and I love them too, the flowers!
Yep!!
That Header is a striking example, Ann Christine 🙂 🙂 Wishing you a peaceful, happy week!
Strikingly shocking when it happened, Jo…Wishing you a great week as well!
Beautiful post! Love the first one. 🙂
Mmm, the shocking view of the plane…will never forget that! Thank you!
evocative images..love all of them
So glad you liked them!
These are all wonderful but that first one is particularly striking.
Thank you, Margaret – and I will never forget the feeling when that plane turned up over the snow…
Your opening photo with the plane could almost be a painting, loved it! Also fantastic examples but the one with the myna gave me strong ‘home vibes’, the bird and the background reminded me so much of my Himalayan state. 😊
Thank you – yes, that plane really gave me a minor shock, turning up just above the snow, and the lonely tree so close. The myna gives me lovely remembering vibes too from our visit in Bhutan. Extraordinary landscapes and wonderfully sweet people. May I ask what is your Himalayan state? I have always loved the Himalayas. Looking that way on all my visits to India, Tibet, Nepal and Bhutan.
Uttarakhand in Northern part of India. 😊
Oh, I looked it up and saw heavenly beautiful pictures from there – So beautiful!
A-C, I love all of these, but the first one, the header photo, is particularly beautiful.
janet
Thank you, Janet – that first one is special to me, as I so well remember the moment it happened and I just gasped…
Beautiful images showing use of negative space.
Happy you liked them, Anne – I must say negative space is becoming more and more wanted, the older I get!
Beautiful set!!
Thank you, Nora!
Leya, such beautiful photos. I love the beach and the color of the blue flower.
Thank you, Marsha, glad you liked those two!
These are remarkable photos. You have such an eye for capturing ordinary in an extraordinary way.
A lovely comment, Anne! If we try to see the world anew, ordinary things are amazing.
Very nice photos
Glad you liked them, Alice.
Wonderful negative space A-C 😀 the coastal scene is my favourite
Glad you enjoyed that one, Brian!
Wonderful images
Thank you, Lily!
Exquisite examples Ann-Christine, clearly this is a concept you’ve mastered. I loved them all but your opener and the sepia shot of loneliness are really outstanding. I thought your description of the impact of negative space was also spot on.
Happy that you enjoyed them, Tina – and yes, I love negative space in photography!
They are gorgeous photos and very calming.
Thank you – so glad you feel they are calming.
