My Ant

12 years 5 months ago - 12 years 5 months ago #168058 by fotozone
I went out for a walk late yesterday afternoon and found this any on a pine tree. It was cold enough that it was not very active so I was able to get some decent macro shots of it.




This one is a composite of two photos one where the head was in focus and the other the body was in focus. I would love some CC. I do not do much editing like this.

These are tack sharp Lila,well composed too.The only problem is the small area of blown highlights.
Re the composit image...if you didn`t mentioned it,I would let it passed but looking closely the color change gives it away.
This is your area of expertise..WTG :judge: :judge: :judge:
