I have searched through the challenge for those entries where the negative space is more than just a plain black or white backdrop because, whilst I think that technique often makes for some really strong and high impact images, I̢۪m particularly drawn to entries where the negative space is relevant to the subject itself and actually contributes to the impact of the picture in a contextual as well as purely compositional way.

I̢۪m such a sucker for shallow DOF and I really like it here. The DOF really focuses attention on the main pink flower (and somewhat on the second one just behind) but the inclusion of a thick slice of grass and large expanse of stone wall provides an interesting environment, colour balance and composition.
