Enter your photos that contain a large noticeable portion of dead space or negative space in the frame. Dead Space or negative space is an area of the photo where there is nothing happening compared to the rest of the image. Negative space can be a useful technique of composition to draw attention to the subject by surrounding it with negative space. Dead space can be unintentional and may unbalance the composition or even distract attention from the subject. The subject can be anything you choose but negative space or dead space should be a strong feature.
