To me, Negative (or White) Space is always openly down to interpretation, and personal opinion or tastes in my book  ;)

I managed to get a photo last night so will be able to post later this evening.
Andy - I think photography is largely a matter of personal opinion and taste so no arguments there.

Good crop of good images.
