this has the best composition in all the four semifinalist....
- framing the subject
- leading lines
- three subjects
- good foreground/subject/background

This truly is an amazing and highly unique shot. I hope you blow it up and hang it over your mantle. I would entitle this one "Lemmings". ;-) Well done!
