It never ceases to amaze me, the ingenuity, creativity, chitzpah, moxie, whoohooness of artists...This is just great!

[Wirefox]

Bill,

This is inspired! I love it. I am in two minds whether those highlights need to be cloned out but it is such an intriguing image I am not sure it matters

[Skitalez]

They can eat this one???? A photo shaking!!!! (Yours )

Very creative indeed. And you took it with a Canon 350D (have an old one myself).

I can't work out why the lower parts of the legs are all faded (see below). What was the yellow surface around the edge?

Bill:

Congratulations on your achievement - getting ants into a picture is as hard as herding cats, but you've solved the problem. Very ingenious.

And a marvelous image.

Hi Rob, This was taken with the 350D, And 50mm 1.8 lens , With the screw on Close up lens kit by Hoya, The Yellow BG is a small yellow card I had , I noticed the Ants had found a dead Grasshopper and had formed the line that they do , Took about an hour to intice them to try the drop of maple syrup on the card , They were kind enough to not crowd each other around the drop , Cool Eh - Cheers Bill

Before you all set off on your animal photo sessions heed this warning!

Wow. How did you get them all to line up so nicely? What a great pic.

I would try it except for the fact that we currently have an invasion of the ant people in our kitchen, and I don't want to encourage them further . . .

Super glue works wonders.

Ingeneous entrapment. Lovely colours and contrast (black and yellow always go well). I would love to see this replicated with a macro lens to see more ant detail. Even as is its a lovely shot.

I love this image for the color and originality. Very cool!

Now that they have tasted the maple, they will want it even more. Sleep with one eye open!
