Derivative Images; How the details tell a story

The photographic self-assignment is to take a photo that is a derivative image. For those new to photography a derivative image is part of a larger item. The goal was to take the photograph in such a way that the part tells you something about the whole. There were no entries from professional photographers.

Here are the winners....
