Description
I found this birch where a colony of Wood ants were scurrying up and down like... um... like scurrying ants...:) For their sake I hope there was some source of food up there that made it all worthwhile. I had a hard time getting one in sharp focus and at the same time sensibly placed in the frame - they consistently refused to stop and pose for me - but in the end I was quite satisfied with this one.

Have tried ant's also. Still havn't got one. The little bugger's just won't stand still long enough to find them in the viewer! Not a bad shot at all for that close, and a moving target.

Very fine capture, like a lot the tonal colour.

It can be quite tricky composing macros. Because of the shallow depth you dont need much movement on your camera to lose focus. Thats why i always compose the shot before i manually move in with the focus rather than use the autofocus for instance. Bla bla. This shot is perfectly focus and its also perfectly composed. Amazing how crisp that ant is. Just impressive!!!! Have a great day. #:O)

It's quite amazing that ants don't fall to bits more often. They are so thin in places. Excellent macro.

I can understand why you were satisfied with this.The compo,lighting,and clarity are all dead-on.I tried the same thing once with an ant on a peony blossom...but all the ones that came out with the ant in focus were unsatisfactory in all other aspects.So you have my sincerest congrats on this.Your efforts certainly paid off....Excellent.-M :^)
