Thank you to all the photographers that shared their best photos showing the subject and negative space. Negative space in photography means to minimize distraction in the space around the main subject.
A big thank you to guest judge Kisha Bari for her collaboration as a guest judge. Born in Melbourne, Australia, her work has been published in an array of outlets, including The New York Times, Rolling Stone, NPR, Esquire and many others.

Congratulations Runner Up "Park Mills Rd Tree in the Snow" by maryhogan
"Lovely crisp snow scape. Really got the idea of negative space. Lovely soft details in here amongst all that open space." - Kisha Bari
Congratulations Runner Up "Oh no...." by RobH
"Great capture. There is a lot of character and a feeling of desperation in her expression. I would be a little more sensitive with the title of your image however. I feel this woman’s life of begging / eating on the street deserves more thoughtful empathy than just an ‘Oh no...’. As a documentary photographer, I appreciate street imagery that represents life and culture in it’s rawest of forms. The starkness of the negative space really frames her well and makes her situation feel a little more hopeless and creates a larger impact." - Kisha Bari
