This is intense!
And almost surreal!
Are you sure you didn't create this digitally?

**geomez** · 07-02-2013, 01:43 AM

By the way this is probably the coolest macro shot I've ever seen.

Thanks geomez!
Yes I'm sure.

I have tried to catch this kind of action photo of an ant many many times and this spring I finally got it.

Those ants live in frosty conditions?

Fantastic.

Most excellent. I was thinking about entering a macro shot in the contest. I don't think I will now.

Amazing clarity and timing!
I am working on a biology textbook and we would love to use this photo in the book. I just sent you a private message.
Cheers!

I might as well throw out my macro lenses - there's no point now.

Fantastic.
