Nice macro experiment on those ants!

• Top one: Cropped half the ant
• 2nd from top on left side is decent
• 2nd from top on right side is to blurred
• 4th from the top has no real focal point, is somewhat busy, and is also slightly off focus
• 2nd from bottom would have been great with more space on left and having the right one off the comp
• Finally, the bottom one is so and so... It is almost possible to launch it by itself as a semi abstract

...All of them have a yellow coat over them probably due to white balance being slightly off. Could be corrected!

Nice macros, I agree about the yellow cast, I find the story a bit hard to follow though.

that last shot are amazingly cool!

Thanks Patrick for the crits on the individual images. Generally, I had to sacrifice some quality of the individual images for the whole piece to work.

1. The first one might be fixed, I'll look into it.

2. Yes top right is a bit blur, but I like that shot in the story context and I don't find the blur too distracting. I could just use the left shot over the whole with, what do you guys think?

3. Somewhat agree, but the busyness is there to add to the storyline.

4. I have a shot like that! Check additional downloads and tell me if you thik I should replace this one. (Also adjusted the white balance so you can see what you like best about that.)

5.This one is probably my favorite of the shots, and yes, it might work by itself, but I think it's really important here, because this is the shot that sets the moral of the story.

Oh, and about the yellow cast. Yes, you're right. It was initially because of white balance settings, but as I corrected it I found that the images didn't really work as I wanted them, so I went sort of halfway. I think the yellow helps to set the mood of greed and temptation. Maybe I should tone it own even more though, if it's disturbing.

Poohblah: What part of the story is unclear?

mostly the 2nd and last pics i don't really understand.

my fav are the scd left and the last one. last one is realy gr8

I love 2nd 5ft pics..Great works..!

Nice group! The colors make me think of sugar and honey...Very good!

Guess whats everyone is missing is !! That U r trying to tell a story with the help of these images !!!
I think U have succeeded in it !! More like a cartoon strip !!!
Apart from having the first one cut, Rest all look fine to me !!
The color tone suits the story too !!!

Very nice work telling the story!.....very nice details!
It looks like they finished it all.

I think this whole concept is really interesting and overall enjoy the whole scene. oddy, the cropped ant at top dosen't bother me perhaps becuz 'the story continues'. an option for the 2 in second row is to flip the one, but I see the blur as part of the story. I find the 3rd from bottom most unclear--not a focal point. overall quite original and interesting story in the making!
(I have 7points max)

8/8

Love the collage. Ants are very hard to capture well as they are always moving. I like the yellow tone.

really nice, i even like this overexposure.

Very nice
