Excellent close up showing this interesting black ant, Susan. I like the way you've captured the reflections on its abdomen and thorax. Very good lighting and focus showing great detail. Interesting composition. Suzanne

Beautiful photo abstraction. The colors are harmonious. The contrast of the subtle use if color very nicely done. I love the elements. The aspects of life is very well expressed here.

the ant says "i just had a wax job. boy i feel good!".. lol. the clarity is great. the capture of the light is great. the angle of the shot of this shinny ant is great. the image is balance and eye appealing to the viewer. good eye and great job overall

Comment from Mr Jones


you made such a good photo. the ant is sharp but appears to be moving as the ground is blurred. great reflective quality and is a great contest entry indeed.

I do like the reflection of the sky as it is clearly reflected on the smooth and shiny thorax and abdomen.

The ant is effectively placed in the scene. The natural camouflage / color of the ant blends with the background and would go unnoticed to the casual looker unless it moves.

A great entry for the contest Susan. Well done ~ Steve

Wow that is an awesome macro shot when I look in this face it gives me Goose Bumps loll, your picture is well framed - taken from a great angle and perspective, hyper clear and sharp and your contrast and lighting just make this ant shine and stand out so well
nicely composed shot, with this little piece of wood and the tiny flowers it looks like a world for itself, well seen, well done

    Thanks a million for your complementary review on this large black Ant in Portugal. The "little piece of Wood" is actually a small piece of Terracotta tiling.

Comment from Charlie Newman


This is a stand out close up of a common ant. It clearly demonstrates that if we take time to connect with the world around us and actually see instead of looking, we can find beauty everywhere. Excellent camera techniques and a good eye.
