Brief
This is a ranked contest eligible only for the top 250 photographers on the site, but who have achieved 3 contest results in the past 12 weeks.
The ‘negative space’ of a photo is the area that surrounds the ‘positive space’ (aka the main subject of the image). Composing a photo with the right balance of negative space is a clever way to create an image with a powerful and emotive simplicity, the key being to allow the main subject enough space to breathe and not cluttering the negative space with too much else. There are plenty of online examples for today’s technical challenge, including this one on Photography Mad.
Winners and highly commended finishers will gain LumeJet prizes worth £30, as well as exposure across Photocrowd.

How it works
Every photo submitted will be available for the crowd to rate once the submissions period has ended. You can see all the images uploaded to a contest, but will need to rate them to see how they’re ranked once the rating period begins.
Some contests on Photocrowd also have a judge. After the submission period closes the judge chooses their favourite images and writes some image reviews. The crowd and judge results will be announced on the same day.
