Very nice photographs.
The detail is sharp. I believe the second is my favorite.

Great shots of an ant that demands alot of respect.

I thought this link would be interesting to add for those that aren't familiar with it (just a bit of info. on it.......like that largest species variation can aparently grow up to 40mm!!! :shock:

ok as a noob the DOF is kind of hard to get used to. But as i have been told many times it is in the eyes. What an awsome shot ... great shot

Great shots of that beastie. It looks like a "regular" ant on steroids with those mandibles and eyes.
