Ant

Ants are not a easy bug to shoot but this one stay still for just a second.;-)Thanks.

The ant stands out strongly set against the lightness of the flower. One can only be glad that ants are not this large.

The ant is a artist??? Nice image, a well done Macro.

Nice "catch" Sandy.

Cool! It's "ant art". That looks like a much larger ant than the ones around here.

Well caught Sandi - they scamper about so much it's not easy to photograph them - NOT THAT I'VE EVER TRIED ANYWAY!!

Well done. Love the colours. Did you sharpen this? I'm wondering about
the edge along the flower to the right of the ant.

Yes Ernest, I sharpen the image. I noticed that edge on the flower on the raw image. It's probably from the bright area of the background. I also used a PS filter and it made that area more pronounced.;-)

Nice work!

I'm pretty sure you haven't learned about masking yet (unless you've
changed since we talked) but you could correct some of that line by
selectively dealing with that area. I think you could even fix it by
creating a layer and doing some careful cloning. It would be worth it as
it is quite a nice image.
