Rav Soloveichik infers that Sefira is both personal and communal, sending the message that while each of us stands alone as an valuable, irreplaceable Tzelem Elokim, we also are part of the broader communityt. This duality is emphasized by the fact that even after we hear the leader count the Omer, and we answer "Amen," we then go and make our own bracha!
