The secret life of termites

Comment by Imagineer:
I have to make the assumption that he is some kind of biologist, but it does nothing for me really since there is nothing obviously relevant to his trade in the shot. Even as a portrait this doesn't tell me much. The composition is too centralised and the context of the shot too busy.

Comment by PaulMdx:
Composition: Would have preferred the subject more in the centre of the image, and larger if poss.
Technical: Nice use of leading lines and nice coloursiation. It looks like it could be rotated a little CCW?
Meets challenge: Yes
Overall impression: I think I'd have gone for a more sombre title, but nice idea.

I don't see how this huge piece of empty space in the fore adds anything to the photo (if it doesn't add, it detracts).

This has nothing to do with its title.

I think I see where you're going, but it took me a while to see what you were showing me.

This is a nice, clean black and white photo, though the meaning is a little hard to grasp.

Good social comment. You'll have to stop reading the papers too - and talking to people, and listening to radio... Nice detail and composition, as well as a great take on the challenge. [8]

Really liked the idea. Challenged my preceptions of freedom. Normally I favor color, but in this case B&W seemed an excellent choice.
