Wow.
We had some great entries this week, and I'm sorry that I just couldn't award all of my favourites. Here is my shortlist that made it through the very first round of selecting.
Visit the steemitphotochallenge tag and sort by new! Vote for your favourites — there's still time!!
But First!
$250 USD B&H Photo Video Gift Card
This was donated by @berniesanders
And the winner is....
@Litrbooh!
@litrbooh has won an honourable mention 3 times in the last 10 SPCs, but never placing in the top 3, making them the most Honourably Mentioned!! I like to award participation and I want everyone to get a chance at great prizes.
There was a tie for this prize, between @litrbooh and @k471 with three honourable mentions (without placing) and so a random winner was selected between them resulting in @litrbooh.
Please contact me on steemit.chat for the details. You'll need to prove it's you, of course. In the event that @litrbooh isn't able to accept the prize within a reasonable amount of time, then it will default to @k471!!
And now back to your regularly scheduled programming...
Honourable Mentions — 10 Steem Each
Third Place — 50 Steem
Second Place — 100 Steem
First Place — 150 Steem
What do you think of the picks this week?
If you don't see your images here, don't be discouraged! There's just so many amazing images to choose from.
Make sure you go and vote for the entries that you liked!
Thanks to our sponsors, @berniesanders, and Steemimg.com the first dedicated Steemit Image hosting website, created by @blueorgy.
Coming Soon...
SPC By The Numbers by @blueorgy where the statistics of the last 10 SPCs will be dissected, and that will be really cool to see. I will update this section when it comes in.

Some thoughts for future challenges:

Elaborate on "negative space" I'm curious as to what you mean.
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:
Submit
Negative space in this context would be the tension, forms, or patterns created by other subjects in the empty space of the image. I had the thought after seeing the shapes created in the negative space (sky in this case) of @k471's photograph of the building and crane.

So contrasting objects in light and dark or maybe as in subject matter?
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:

It can be light and dark, although it doesn't have to be. Not sure what you mean in the last part of that question though? I suppose I'm thinking about it more in terms of design where you can use minimalism in shapes to create other forms within the frame. This is a great example by Disney:
In photography, it might look something like this:

Oh Okay I think I understand. The latter part of my last question was whether or not it was a contrast of themes or concepts.

You did have some great shots this week. Category suggestion: A Sense of Place. This would be photos that show what's unique or most interesting about a place, rather than something you could see lots of places.
