It was quite shocking for me to see this grand list of the names of all the victims of 9/11. It was saddening and difficult to realize that each name is a separate person, with his or her separate lives. And how remarkable it was that a small group of people, fill with hate, can reduce 2800 lives into a series of fine print on a page of the newspaper. But their lives and deaths are of incredible importance. These two thousand eight hundred and one persons are forever united, forever celebrated, forever remembered.

Good sentiment.

I am not sure if this is neg space or not, but I like it! The one thing I will criticize is that if you can find a way to get rid of the distracting wrinkles and folds of the paper, you would have a more powerful photo!

Wierd. I don't like the creases in the paper. 5

I think the idea is brilliant, but would have liked to see more contrast on the hand and paper. 7 -zadore

This might have a higher visual impact if the creases were less noticable. With the title, you make it seem like the fine print is the subject. If the fine print were in fact the subject, then it would technically be the positive space. However, not being technical, the hand it's self being the "subject" lacks in interest, and the background, brings it in to be interesting. So in that case, I think you did a fine job of portraying "negative space" If that makes any sense. lol. Good luck in the challenge. ~Hbunch7187~

LOL I know the feeling here! A little more contrast and brightness would improve this. It certainly meets the challenge! Good luck in the challenge. Grayce aka Gracious
