Third in this b&w series, this is one of my favourites. I just happened to be at the right place at the right time. This happens in Canary Wharf, East London. I was getting ready to find a nice angle to capture these giant metal pillars, when suddenly this little fellow showed up, hopping around, looking upwards, impressed by the massive structure. That's what I like so much about photography : being able to stop time and capture one single moment.
The title means "I am an ant".
Just realised you can't see the boy in the thumbnail, what a shame. Bah. ;)
Modifications : bit of cropping, b&w conversion.

Negative feedback welcome - it's the best way to learn. Positive feedback also appreciated, of course - but only if deserved ;)
Constructive criticism is a compassionate attitude towards the person qualified for criticism. Having higher experience, gifts, respect, knowledge in specific field and being able to verbally convince at the same time, this person is intending to uplift the other person materially, morally, emotionally or spiritually. Hence the word constructive is used so that something is created or visible outcome generated rather than the opposite.
Génial, j'adore ! Non seulement le graphisme de la photo grâce à ces colonnes métaliques, mais aussi la posture du petit...

Beautiful and elegant in its composition ... it speaks volumes of the wonders and mystery of childhood. You've captured a most beautiful moment in time, here. Your processing is exquisite ... you've successfully converted to B&W without losing the beautiful reflective quality of the massive pillars ... excellent work!

Très belle composition et le rendu des colonnes est également très esthétique. Le gamin dans son attitude rigolote donne une dimension et donne de la vie à cette photo en plus de son coté graphique. J'aime bien... (j'ai vu que tu étais français alors c'est plus facile pour moi de commenter dans cette langue... je suis un peu fainéante et ça me prend moins de temps... )

Un moment inédit ! En effet, l'enfant donne tout son poids à la photo. Son sourire est comme une défiance à l'immensité de ces colonnes. C'est un peu l'histoire du petit poucet qui n'a pas peur de l'ogre ! J'apprécie aussi les barres horizontales en haut à droit qui "ferme" l'espace et le rende encore plus "menaçant" pour le petit aventurier ! Très bon cliché !

The grand pillar and the small child as his standard. Greetings from Yogyakarta Indonesia.

Image très forte. Excellente verticalité des colonnes (elles sont bien droite, c'était primordial!) et le gamin en plein sur un point de force, sans parler de son expression très enfantine (aucunement péjoratif). Une réussite.
