Question: do trees, mountains, sky, grass and asphalt count as negative space?

You've put a relatively large subject in a very large space. Since there's no action from the subject or the space around it, it's conflicting. This composition says to me, "Here's a beautiful scene and my car is in it." Unfortunately, the scene is nothing special, so we're wondering, is this a car picture or a landscape picture. If I wanted to use negative space in this nice light, I'd either use or longer focal length or get nearer to the car, have the car fill half the frame and the asphalt the rest (to the side and/or in front) and deemphasize the BG. I looks like you shot this standing up. I think it'd be more effective if you were down on a knee. The shadows lack detail and I'd raise them a bit, if I were going to try to salvage this. Great looking car. Do they still call that color Silverstone II? I've got a 2009 E92 in S-II. Love that color.

Zing, I like the door shot. The vignetting is perfect and the composition leaves me wondering, which, I think, is the point.

One of my bands played a concert in the park this weekend. Right as the last note sounded, it began to rain lightly, as the sun was low in the sky and we witnessed a strong double-rainbow. Doubles are actually quite common in this part of Colorado, but this about as strong as I've ever seen:

For 2016 anyway, it's simply called Silverstone Metallic. It has at least 4 different hues depending on light source and cloud cover. |

I love silverstone! That was my first choice, but I had to settle for AW. Anyhow, here is one of my attempts at negative space, although I had a much different intent than you: Porsche 911 - 20160120 - 6th St Bridge - v2 by JMG, on Flickr

Layers? You mean multiple exposures stitched together in photoshop? No. This is a single photo, but I did some color and exposure adjustments in Lightroom.

Finally got a 10 stop ND filter and gave it a quick go:
San Clemente State Beach by JMG, on Flickr It's my first attempt at a daylight LE, and I know the subjectmatter is kind of pedestrian, but I had my whole family with me and I had to keep one eye on the kids swimming so I couldn't wander down to the pier or rocks for anything more interesting.

I love the pastels, greens, browns and greys. The softness of the long exposure is appropriate here, although I feel that it is much overused by many. You may have the vignette just right, but I'd play with it and maybe just put it around the top and have a more natural sand color at the lower left. The only thing I'd do different is get beyond those shark turds. They're calling too much attention to themselves and making me wonder what they are. I think this is best as an interpretation of colors and textures and unidentified objects in the FG detract, at least for me. Dave

LOL on the shark turds. I was thinking I should paint those out, but I do like the lone rock. I have some shots with the rock much much closer, but even for 5-6 sec exposures, my tripod would sink into the sand as the water washed past and I couldn't get a sharp photo. You are right though, the only reason I uploaded this photo is because I liked the color representation and mood. There is not much else to look at otherwise.

Agreed. One of the highest priced photos every sold was just a road, grass, and a river. And quite frankly, jmg's image is waaaay better. I still don't get why this image went for so much.
