    Steven thats a Really sharp shot and whats the story about this ant that makes him special?

  • Steven Sandner replied

    thanks for the comment David!

    well! this was just after climbing up this huge wall.. . and feeling for another grip, then seeing the bull-ant next to my hand!
    fortunately i didnt annoy it too much and i could get close enough to get this shot =D
    i think its a queen, because it has wings, im not an ant specialist though so i cant be sure!!!

    Now this is the kind of DOF I just love. I take a lot of macro shots but haven’t had much luck in putting small insects in the environment like you have done here.
