"A competent leader can get efficient service from poor troops, while on the contrary an incapable leader can demoralise the best of troops"
-John J. Pershing, General of the Armies of the United States Army

This photograph and this quote shows that the leader is very important regardless of its team, be it troops, citizens or even an army of ants. The leader acts as the guiding light of the team and brings them towards the direction of success. Therefore, light can also be interpreted this way as something that guides a team of people towards their final destination, just like a competent leader would.

Besides the subject matter conveying this message, the photograph has also captured some of the fleeting effects of sunlight, which has a very literal relation to our theme, light.
