This reviewer has viewed this image four times trying to get an handle on how this image could be rated in terms of creative. It's extremely hard to develop an opinion that makes sense if only because of the nature of the lighting and how it affected the image. Benefit of the doubt to the author on this as it is an effective use of concentrated ambient light creating a mood that is unusual for something as simple as a sculpture. Well done - it should be a top ten image.

I have could make the negative space with strong black color i.e. maybe a highter contrast will do the trick

Pix is a little soft, more contrast is needed.

The warm light is pleasantly effective. The blacks are not black enough.
