Thomas, Thanks for your kind comments about my photograph. I am glad that you liked the photo. I had expected some of the educators and professionals on the list to have helped us out with what they felt was the definition of "negative space" by this time. Oh well, maybe I should submit another neg space image when people are not so preoccupied with other matters. But I appreciate your comments, Thomas, not only for my picture, but for your taking the time to comment on all of the photographs. It is a difficult, time-consuming task. I enjoyed all your comments. peace, rand
