Giant Ants, a photo from New South Wales, East

Photographer's Note

It's a familiar site in Sydney to see what look to be groups of giant ants on top of the Sydney Harbour Bridge. It's actually groups of maximum 12 tourists + their guide climbing it. Even on wet days like this one. I took the photo in between 2 rain showers.

C'est une scène familière maintentant de voir ce qui ressemble à des groupes de fourmis géants en haut du célèbre pont de Sydney. En effet, il s'agit des groupes de maximum touristes + guide qui l'escaladent. Même lors des journées pluvieuses comme celle-ci. J'ai pris la photo entre 2 averses.

Ciao Nikki,
I like it very much. It's a very beautiful image, graphic, B&W and with a nice scene. A bit minimalist too.

belle photo en effet; aurais tu une vue du pont en entier à nous joindre au WS pour avoir une vue d'ensemble et situer où se trouvent ces fourmis? d'avance Merci

I had no idea that you could climb the Sydney Harbour Bridge - it must be an incredible view from up there. The photo captures the precariousness of the situation up there, with the people appearing so tiny compared to the massive girders. I like the pure graphic effect too, with everything silhoetted against the sky. Nicely done!

Hi Nikki,
the black&whitze makes it abstract, but the people keep the life in it. Good patterns from the bridge with only a soft idea of the textures.

Hello Nikki,
j'aime bien ce minimalisme et la compo très graphique.
Super comme le groupe se détache bien du fond.

Tout bon ça Nikki !!
Elle pete bien cette photo, les white tones sont parfaits, les noirs bien noirs, bref c'est aggressif et met parfaitement en valeur le graphisme inhérant a cette photo.
Vraiment une belle photo, j'aime beaucoup

Hi Nikki,
Quite an amazing sight. I love the minimalist presentation here and resulting graphism. The pylons crisscrossing each other really mesmerize and the people really do resemble ants doggedly trudging upward. Your POV could not be better chosen. Very fine work.

I like the minimalist nature of this shot. Very different, very successful. And perfect in B&W. Top marks. Chris

Striking and different, minimalistic and so graphic. Great choice of B/W with strong contrast. Less is more...my compliments.

TFS and best regards

hey Nikki, nice B&W shot, cool composition. i can hardly see the people on the top of the bridge, but i really "feel" how tired they are, especially the last dude:)

Hi Nikki,

well...browsing through your gallery I really had no problem whatsoever finding likeable and quality photo. One is better than the other, a gallery to admire and learn from. For the start I've chosen this one, maybe because of amuzing title. Love the simplicity and graphical outcome...simple but it tells most interesting story. A story of a man and the bridge he built. It is most interesting how now he looks small against his own creation. :) Just like ants and their homes :)

Warm regards,
Jeri
