Ant On The S-Curve [Original Photography]

This was one hell of a tricky capture. I found this lovely shaped bit of leaf with ants running all over it and set up the camera to try and grab a shot of them. They are quick little blighters though, and it was a real, real struggle to get a shot of one. Took me about 30 minutes and about 50 shots and came out with this one that I was quite happy with. Its not quite as sharp as I would have liked, but to be honest, after 30 minutes chasing these little things around, kneeling down in nettles, I was quite happy just to get anything at all!

Wow this is actually one of my favorite shots of yours. The curve of that leaf defines such a nice edge to the focused area and the color of green in the bokeh to the left is such a beautiful backdrop. Really dramatic framing for the ant. Lovely!
