Brian, these are interesting as far as they go, but they could be made 
far more interesting if you had been more selective in what you included 
in each frame (whether by getting closer, using a longer lens, or 
cropping). Many of the images suffer from being overly active without 
thoughtful composition: there are frame after frame of withering bodies 
with lots of extraneous background.

The use of captions would not have helped the composition, but at lease 
would have told us what we are viewing.
