Very interesting interactive shots; love them! I'm surprised the ant isn't trying to run the fly off; I'm guessing it wants an aphid for dinner?
Those ants are fantastic!

the ant in #3 is a little soft,as my focus was on the aphids in that shot.not enough DOF to take it all in.

In a way though I think the softness (smoothness) looks nice.
Is that just an untrained eye?
