Day 3: Negative space

Tell me something, when you first read the phrase "negative space" what do you think of?  For myself, I instantly thought of a room full of mean and negative people. And I was puzzled that I had to take a picture of such nonsense.  However, thanks to wikipedia, I found out that negative space is a term in the art and photography world (auola!) and is defined as such:
 Negative space, in art, is the space around and between the subject(s) of an image. Negative space may be most evident when the space around a subject, and not the subject itself, forms an interesting or artistically relevant shape, and such space is occasionally used to artistic effect as the "real" subject of an image. The use of negative space is a key element of artistic composition.
I have NO idea whether my next photo is "negative space" but I personally like it and that's all that matters! LOL.  So here you go, what do you think?
