Interesting. For this technique, it seems small, high-contrast
subjects would be best, with the actual pattern of the pinholes a
central design element. A single ant or say ladybug could be turned
into a phalanx -- if you could get them to pose.

I like the experimentation. However, this work is not as crispy as
your earlier series.
