[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I came to know that a python has been spotted near the place where I live... so I went out one morning with my camera in search of the python. But unfortunately the maximum I could get was a few ants :P . The ants were pretty past and I somewhat liked the pattern of this leaf. I positioned my camera on top of this leaf and waited for a generous ant to come by and give me a pose. Fortunately after 15 minutes of standing still one ant chose to give me my shot. Hope you like it.

Hi Victor

This is a very nice macro with pleasing colors. Perhaps the DOF is a little shallow, and the focus is a tad off (I think it is more to do with the limitations of your lens than your abilities). Good POV and composition.

TFS and Best

Hello Victor, nice frame and good composition. Perhaps may be little more closer to the object would have been better. Ganesh

Hi Victor.
It is really ant is a bit smaller and different than python. However, shot is wonderful and you managed to represent this tiny creature at attractive scenery very well. All is very nice: lights, alive colours, excellent details. My compliments and TFS.
Alexei.
