| Just how strange would one want? Would anyone that voted this a 1, 2 or 3 be kind enough to explain what they thought was bad about this? I promise, no arguements, I just want to be a better photographer, please help me. |

A visit from the critique club.
I'm glad you wrote how you did the photo. This helps people who aren't familiar with such techniques to get a better idea on how to execute them.
I suppose I should critique two photos separately, then critique the combination of the two.
The photo of you is great. I love the expression of the face which seems to be fitting with the rest of the photo. One thing that I don't like about it and you explain that you printed it on a transparency is that you can see parts of the background if you look carefully. I'm not sure what your reasoning was to print on a transparency but I think regular paper would have worked well too.
The photo of the ant I don't like too much. It's an interesting photo but I think the background of it is too bright and overpowering. And the ant is in a weird position in relation to you. I think doing a profile shot of the ant would have helped a lot. When I visualize myself doing this photo I would try to get a profile of the ant or some other bug and a profile of me on my knees or something and also make sure I am much smaller than the ant. Then position it in a way that looks like I am begging for my life from the ant. Also, the flash spots on the water are odd, I'm tempted to say they are distracting but on the other hand I would say that this makes the ant look a bit like a magical creature that can do magic and it's about to cast a spell on the man.
This certainly creates an interesting effect with the two photos being sandwhiched together like this. I think although not very strong on their own the two photos make for a very compelling image.
I think this is a great idea, well executed but could be done just a tiny bit better. I think it's the positioning of the subjects that throws me off a bit. |

| I'm not even going to ask how you did this. All I can say is "WOW". Better title - Attack of Killer Bee? What an imagination, besides ability. Bet a lot don't like it, but I think it's wild. Not my type of photo but sure gets your attention. Great one. PTL |

| great job swash.. the photos match really really well... a super nice effect... the only thing I would like is different light so the glare and color of the ant are more balanced (7) |
