Lovely rich b&w tones & composition but I don't know the story - the photo is great without the title anyway!

@Ian Bramham: Thanks, Ian! It's an Aesop fable where the industrious ant spends the year working hard preparing for winter while the lazy grasshopper hangs around idly and even chides the ant for working so hard. Of course, then winter comes and guess who has no food.

Not that this photo reflects that story in any serious way - it's just a contrast between motion and repose.

A penny for his thoughts! Makes me think of the many men who don't know better than that there's always a woman around to take care of everything :). Splendid contrast, very human!

Behind every strong man, there is a strong woman... or was it vice verse ? ;-) Love this shot!
