 I learned that bubbles are incredibly difficult to work with. Not only placing them in the desired places, but taking the picture before one of them pops. I took approximately 50 shots, before losing my patience with inadequate lighting. Eventually, I set up a lamp from above, and a smaller lamp from behind, and came up with what you see here.

This is really beautiful, and really fascinating. It's also very, very visually "busy" - I'm really not sure where the negative space is supposed to be in this. If it were just the black-and-white pattern, I'd take the white for negative space, but whatever the layer is over it adding distortion, it seems to disturb the flow of my eyes over the photo enough to keep from really settling on that.

It's a bit too finely detailed to distinguish between positive and negative space, rather it all blends together.

This is not-so-negative-space. There is way too much going on here. It would be a pretty cool abstract though with the right crop.

You are right. This is a chaos. It's fun to look at, but it doesn't belong in this challenge. Sorry.

i think that this is way too busy to be considered negative space

I don't really see the negative space.

I can't decide if this fits the technical definition of the challenge, but frankly, I don't care! 7 for what I find as a very compelling image.

i don't understand the negative space concept of this photo...

Yep, I think too much chaos. It seems way to busy to me and hard to look at for long.
