Sometimes, Betsy, you just blow me away with your images. This is one of those times.

This is impressive use of negative space. Well shot.

I agree with Laurie. The use of the black space, I call it negative space, is effective. On my first glance, I wanted less sky (nothing going on) but a longer look brought me to the conclusion that the light , and the figures, are nicely placed. Nice shot, nice capture, nice presentation.

Always thinking of how an image can be used I like the negative space as plenty of copy or a headline can be overlaid if the photo were to be published! I also like that this is sort of an unexpected image from what I figured you would post first- cherry blossoms. Walk between the rose drops Fabulous!

I like the large amount of negative space here (and, no, I'm not referring to Congress) and the creative use of light and silhouettes. You have learned well, Grasshopper. Make sure you keep Pat in line while you're down there. I'm sure DHS has their eye on her.

Super composition where, yes, the black adds so much. I like this very much.

Hey Russ,
I was only approached once by a uniformed officer and he just wanted to let me know what time they go off duty...not sure why that was important...something about tripods.

Betsy,
An excellent shot, you are so right about the negative space!
