Je suis une fourmi

Posted by Le Photalgraphiste (London, United Kingdom) on 28 May 2008 in People & Portraits and Portfolio.

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.
