[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Dear people,

It's a pity I can not upload this picture any bigger than it is right now due to limitations on the site.

I posted this picture not so much for the information about this soldier Ant, but for photographers note.

I took this picture in sunlight using a very shiny surface underneath. The thing I like about this picture is the way light 'plays' this surface. I chose a point of view horizontally to this ant to create a sence of belonging in the same world.

The picture has a lot more detail to it, when looked at it in it's original size, but I hope you can grasp the idea of this picture.

Many greating... Arjuna

Hi Arjuna
I think you did a very good work here with this ant...
perfect light and composition, as the POV too.
nice reflex on the line of the surface where the ant was...
I liked it too much, well done.

I understand the unfortunate size restriction. But you have an excellent idea here, and the result seems to be achieved 100%.
If I have any critique it would be to have the surface rotated a tiny bit to right to give a level horizon. This sure gives me some idea about trying a situation like this. Bravo
