Thank you all for the comments, this being my first submission, they are helpful. This was not a very easy shot, I found a large ant mound and only having camera in hand it was a little tricky. The ants got really excited when I stuck the camera in the entrance of the mound, they climbed up on the camera strap till I wrapped it around my hand and I had to quit taking shots when my legs got numb from straddling the mount to try to keep ants from climbing up my legs. I only used the the macro mode on the camera, cropped and resized. I did realize that this shot was not focused very well, but it was the best of what I took, but I did not recheck the shot after resizing, I will do so next time.

Interesting image ...though it seems to be suffering from compression jaggies/artifacts

Good shot but the interpolation seems too high.

A little wider DOF might have made this one better....love the ant and sand texture...

please PM with what lens you used for this shot?

Nice one. Macro treatment fits.

This would be a stronger entry if it was focused better.

this would have been a great picture, but it's out of focus... also, were you shooting through a screen, I think I can see a grid
