Thanks for all the comments - I understand what you're saying about the landscape format, but the ant's back wouldn't be in that specific position - he, the plant and the light would all look wrong ;)

Was this lit with a ring flash or other flash unit?
No, I'd like to own one, I find lighting for macro very difficult. This was done with ambient light, predominantly backlit although it was an overcast day. This was balanced with a silver reflector from this side of the camera. :) Do you use ring flash with your macros?
