Negative Space

There is something appealing about an image with large amounts of negative space.  Maybe it is because we are used to seeing a lot of detail in an image. Maybe it is because it enhances the small amount of detail that is available in the image. All I know is that there is something in these two negative space images of GuynS at the chalet that have a little something special I can't put my finger on. What do you think? You can see the rest of the images from the Chalet on new years day (and the couple of days after) on Flickr.
