@siebe: NO! This is the real look. They climbing the wall, why I should rotate it to change the wall with floor seem?!

This is a wonderful, interesting photo. At first I thought it was a dried-flower arrangement on a door.

Like much in life, a closer look reveals other stories.

Just lovely exactly as it is. Beautiful detail and color.

can't help thinking it would be better rotated 90' though.

Horsman says:

Another wonderful shot with excellent clarity and colours. I'm not convinced that it looks better rotated by 90'. I think that current angle and the description add something to the overall dynamic of the shot. How did you get the ants to pose in such a great formation?!

Hamed Saber says:

Thank you everybody
@Horsman: Be sure I'll someday kill everyone who suggested the rotation! :P
BTW, about your question on how did I arrange them for casting in this shot; I should say it was so simple. Just gave them a dead bee and politely asked them to please pose and don't move for some seconds ;)

Thanks MemoryMotel and BrianScotty.

@Ahmad Khatiri: چوب كاري هم حد و اندازه‌اي داره استاد. ميشه بپرسم چي از شما كم ميشه اگه گاهي يه چيزي هم به ما تازه كارها ياد بديد؟ والا تعريف رو همه بلدن، اما هر كسي بلد نيست انتقاد سازنده داشته باشه.
زكات هنر و دانشتون فراموش نشه

I realize that it was on your wall, but I still feel the need to turn my head 90 degrees. I agree with those above me who say to rotate it. Other than that, a fantastic photo!

Dear Hamed Saber

This is to ask you if I can use this great image in order to participate in an Athens video art festival. My video visualizes an ecological fairytale I wrote in Greek that I also narrate. I think that art owes to be concerned with the key issues of our age, like environmental pollution and has to also keep us all concerned with such issues. The images I will use and yours among these are a hymn to life and to our planet (it also has to do with Adam and Eve and a new paradise) . In the introduction to the video I will say that:
the following video includes images from www.flickr.com (artist’s names), in order to visualize my story. There is no relation between the artists’ original intentions and my use of their images. The present use is exclusively for artistic, non-commercial purposes.
Also, in the end there wll be detailed mentioning of the sites from which the images were taken. Please accept my many thanks to you as an artist. I will consider you a co-creator of this video.

Yours,
Dora

p.s.My account doesn't allow me to send more than ten messages, so this is the only way to contact you.
