      A great macro shot, lovely lighting, sharp subject and smooth out of focus areas. Well done!

      well the thumbnail cought my eyes but looking at the big size the black spot on the top middle starting to bother me.
      it pushes the overall greenish feeling

      looked very "saveable" from the small size. .
      Large, it's too saturated and too "sharpened" in software for my taste. .

      Interesting. If you could've shortened the shutter speed to get that big ol' ant to stop wriggling, it would be better. Looks to sharpened...to compensate?

      I would love to save this. I have seen very few ant macros that I like, and this one is pretty good. My main problem is the saturation. It makes it that little bit hard to look at. Otherwise a great picture.

    22. cszar (72 months ago | reply)

      The saturation and the sharpening have their reason: I wanted a kind of SciFi feel. It has to be (slightly) unreal to work for me.

    23. andrebernardo.com [deleted] (72 months ago | reply)

      your photostream is beautiful!
      great work.

    24. xenmate (72 months ago | reply)

      It's definately a question of taste then. I like insects as they are. So unless you present me with sometihng that is completely insane, I'm going to thin that all the post-processing is just detracting from the picture.

      Soz.

    25. raizans (72 months ago | reply)

      could have used a faster shutter speed. nature photography demands some of the most rigorous technique.

      Personally, there is too much green and black. I wish you could have gotten a different background to make the ants stand out more. Detail and sharpness is excellent.

      Love the colors and the placement of the subject. I really like the closeness that you feel. Nicely done!

      OK I am not a fan of macros, but this one I like, It is an aggressive compo with a sort of B-movie "attack of the giant ants feeling". The colours the spikes, the blown up contrast all make this nature shot pleasantly unnatural to me.

      I loved this one, when I saw it in another group. I faved it then; and would fave it now, also. Very detailed. Excellent macro. Viewed on large I see NO blownout areas. All details are crystal clear on my screen. I really like the background colors. They add to the photo; they don't take away from it at all......in my opinion. The focal point goes strictly to the ants themselves. My, aren't they workers? Would be nice if us humans worked that hard.......LOL

      excellent shot! I like that I can see each detail, but also the colors and the contrast between the colors! You did a great job! Congratulations!
