Description
This photo was taken on June 12th 2004. The day following the big over night flood rains, I found myself out in a flower garden and seen this ant. He wasn't moving too fast(for a change) so I got my macros on and shot this. I'm learning as I go along that insect close ups are a beast to get fully clear and you'll get a better shot in small mode. Other than some cropping and a touch of brightness, this is how it turned out.Related content

Thank you. I was brought to the realization that it also looks like a scoop of ice cream.

Thank you. I was fortunate enough to catch this little guy fairly still. I really enjoy taking close-ups like this. It stuns me when I see those photos were you can see their eyes and everything. Something I'm shooting for in the future. EXTREME MACROS!!! Thanks again.

Thank you!!! You didn't think it was too blurry in full-view?

No. The ant was the main draw point and that was clear. It actually added to the appeal of the photo to have the flower slightly burred at the edges. It gave the shot a lovely softness. My only criticism is for you to reduce your image size, so that it is easily viewed.
cheers

Indeed!.. I think. Christ, it's been so long since I've seen those! You're most welcome.
I'd say that it could use a bit of resizing, but it's so crisp as is, and the central part of the image is only a small portion of the whole photograph... nah.
