This is a great image, spoilt in my humble opinion, by the other photographers appearing in it. If you clone them out and add in an attractive model, it would be a winner!

Really cool, surreal image. Disagree about the figues, they're OK and the image needs them for scale.

I like this one a lot, however I'm going to have to join the no-figures camp as I find them a touch out of place in the scene.

Superb - think the figures are okay, but think it would be equally good without them.

Very strong, thought provoking image. You've captured it well.. the people in the shot lends well to the sheer size of those traps
