It's perfect!

A wonderful capture.... well done... Kim :o)

Wow... that's just an excellent macro shot you've made here.

Fantastic light/color.

perfect !!!

very gut !!!

That's not glue holding the ant down is it?

Chris K this is natural photo, no glue, no tricks, only ant and I with my camera!

I'll take your word for it even though it really looks like it (right where the abdomen touches the surface). I prefer to think that photos are not heavily manipulated and that photographers are reasonably ethical. Sorry, I didn't want to be overly critical or anything.

 

Excellent capture. Not an easy subject.

 

p.s. many of the photos in your portfolio are absolutely amazing.

Great shot!

Ants of the genus Formica (like the one shown here) often strike this pose when they are feeling defensive. It's a very natural position.

Nice shot, I'd spend some time cloning out the dust specks, though.

I wasn't so worried about the position. I suspected that this is defensive. It was just the "material" or illusion of such between the ant and the surface it is sitting on. I'm perfectly willing to believe that it is just that, an illusion. Maybe I'm just seeing something that isn't there.
