I don't think the negative space really enhances this picture - the picture seems almost not to exist at all. I'd have liked to see the lower left corner a bit larger, still with plenty of negative space.

Made me look! Very nice...almost begs for a little more landscape...but cropped just right.

Hard to see the tractor

Too much negative space, it fails to create the wow of the picture.

This has a type of Remie effect. If you do not know what I am talking about look up that member name and see his shot for the original Negative space challenge.

This would have been much better if it were focused and sharper. The horizon could have been little bit higher.

Lots of neg space here! I like the radicalness of this shot. Somehow the poles keep my interest--though I have no idea why!

hehe, the tractor is faraway...
good idea, and very well captured... it is really nice work

you should maybe get yourself a circular polirizer filter, to get the sky more deep blue...

Good use of negative space to show scale, but the top part of the image should be cropped. Negative space with no purpose is just junk space.

This reminds me of the cow shot from the first Negative Space challenge. I still like it. 8.

There certainly is a lot of negative space here.

I almost didn't see the tractor... Like where's Waldo

yes. excellent negative space. The sliver of land is just the right amount. What it really needs though, is a little less brightness, for a bit more of a blue hue instead of white down low. Just my pref though. I like it. Makes me feel like I'm cruising through Oklahoma

Interesting challenge of compositional rules. I think that this works well.

I wouldn't have spotted this was a tractor were it not for the title. A portrait-oriented shot with just one telephone pole would still have captured the blue shading in the sky and those interesting clouds on the left, but you could have gotten much closer to the subject.
