    Congratulations Vida van der Walt
    A little slip

    A tiny 2mm x 1mm ant. I noticed these little ants on a fuchsia plant and placed a drop of sugar water on one of the petals to get them to sit still. I used f8 on purpose and sacrificed dof in favour of sharper detail on the eye of the ant. I could have lifted the levels a bit but rather like the mood of the darker image. Still not 100 percent happy but think the translucence of the ant and the red and black reflection (don't know what it is) in the water drop is nice.

    slight crop, shrp, nr, curves and softening of highlights.
