Here is a very big carpenter ant with a drop of honey; spent some time yesterday observing his interesting behaviour...

Very well done, great behaviour and detail, nailed the focus and diffusion looks good. I just might boost the exposure a tad.

Thank you, Paul. I will keep that in mind; ants are quite challenging for me but ever so interesting...

Great work Ishrani.

I need a 5x MPE to get a semi visible shot of my ants. I hate to think what that family would do with that size ant in the garden :)
