Tx so much for all the lovely comments on my CN tower shot and my bee... this weekends photos seem to be all about the challenges :)

[paula goff]

this is great, perfect for the challenge!

I tried almost the exact same shot today, but with a power boat. It didn't come out as well as yours. Nicely done.

[beachradish]

Awesome challenge shot, and I love the pop of red!

[Lisa]

Fantastic shot! Perfect for the challenge.

[Simply Amanda]

Very nice. I like it!

[Cathy Donohoue]

Great pop of red.

[Aleksandra]

Great minimalist shot! Love the pop of red!

[Caryn]

I just LOVE these negative space shots popping up right now. This is fantastic!

[Kerri]

Awesome

[Pam Womack]

Simply perfect! That red completes it.

[Jan Hall]

Fab composition and use of colour

[Bobbyj]

[Ems]

Beautiful Northy! I bet the rowers feel so free out there :)

[Amber McCarter]

The pop of red is perfect.

[Simon]

I agree with all the above, great shot Northy

[Mags ッ]

It's a good one - must try the negative space thing :)

[Humphrey Hippo]

I had to do a double-take on whose pic this was! Awesome way to 'break style'. Love it! I really like how it's one of those pictures were you 'think' you see one thing & then you look closer and see the subject isn't what you quite thought (for me this was the rowers going in the opposite direction to convention) - a perfect example of breaking the conventions about active space.

[Anne ❀]

i like it! ditto all the above!

[Jenn]

love the beautiful blue neg space!

[Livia]

I like the way you've composed this shot, with a thin sliver of sea! Great work!

[Alison Tomlin]

Great composition. The pop of red looks great amidst all that blue.

[Andreas]

I love negative space too, agree with all of the above. Great shot

[Juliette Packham]

great space in this and nice splash of red - great job Northy!

[Paula]

Great shot!

[Disha Parekh]

Great shot. I like this way of composing stuff.

[Frida]

I like this a lot Northy! Big fan of the neg spc myself, just never seem to consciously get one, must try harder :)

[Monika]

Very Very cool. 6 months ago I didnt know what negative space was. Now I love it. We seem to be bumping into each other all over the place.

[David Shimmings]

I think you have achieved a great result!

[Muse]

It's a nice image, very relaxing

[michelle mcintyre]

I love the negative space and the splash of red from the kayak xx

Beautiful "POSTCARD" photo. I also like to take this kind of shot as well. It would be more dramatic with thunderstorm clouds, but this is a photo a day shot. We just can't wait for the storm to come :-)

[☠northy]

@nod true... and if there had been a thunderstorm, i prolly wouldn't have been able to convince my kids to go down to the lake! :)
