Absolutely fantastic! Love the colors and reflection! But the best part is the little ant testing the solidity of the surface...COOL!

This picture is so nice but i need some explainations I also use a Canon 30D and just got a Sigma 50mm macro lense,now I never done macro before but read about it in photos magazine and sorry if I sund stupid but I was under the impression that you have to use large apperture to trow the backgroung out of focus? but I notice that you are using f16,is that because as you get closerthe deep of field change?
If you could put some light in to the matter for me that will be very nice aso,I was considering in investing in a micro flash as I have seen one on ebay for under 100 pouds what is your opinion or advice to me Thanks Gerry

This stands out a lot for being a macro shot, many macro shots are rather documentary than artistic but you've really done it here with the beautiful colors!

Thanks Marcus,
Mabey a little bit strange but i have no one on my walls.

next month, I have an exposition in the main office of Canon.
If the exposition has finished I get them all nine gifts.
Then I hang them all on my wall.
And i'm very happy whit that.

Andrea Orioli 3 years ago

Awesome, the colours and the details. But even more how delicate the ant looks over the water. I only wish to see the image a little bit bigger, but maybe you had to crop the original frame; may I ask what lens you used?
