Maybe you can find it also on Strangezoo.com
When i saw it I immedelalsdalks ... well, right away, I knew it was from a DPC Challenge ... how to spell immediately - immideately - imm - ah, I give up!
But sue them!

"This image was more difficult than I imagined, but I finally got it after nearly 300 shots and several ants."

Hi Shannon. I just thought I'd let you know what kind of effect this had on other people. I showed a few people the DPC website because I wanted their opinions on my Beverages Challenge photo (stupid me, I gathered opinions for the challenge AFTER choosing one to submit).
A couple of times, I showed the picture when several of my students were around. There all got very excited to see the homepage and of all the pictures on the page at the time (that was when we had Joey's two blues up with the 48 hr member challenge), guess which one had all the kids pointing and laughing.
It was the only picture that got repeated requests to view and review. Every time I showed the pictures of DPC that week, everyone requested seeing this picture first.
Great job. Maybe if you had used a blue checkered tablecloth you would have gotten a blue ribbon. |

So cute! Speaking of overachievers, where can I see some photos of your three overachievers? Have you posted any lately? So Justin squashed one of the ants - that would have made his great-grandfather laugh!!

why a 1 from anyone? I think you get a 2 just for posting, a 3 for visible objects, 4 for interesting subject, 5 for satisfactory execution, and on up for beauty,style, composition, lighting, etc...
I would've given it a 9, definately a sucessful stock |

I love the creativity and patience that this took! My jaw just drops seeing that this is a live ant! Goodness I have found someone else who is as crazed as I am to use live insects as models in conceptual shots:-) ! I am glad that you changed the elements from the first shot to this one. The red checked cloth works perfectly to compliment this "model" for it helps to invoke the idea of ants invading the picnic table and carrying off food:-) You are spot on that the picnic basket could have been in better focus for the shot for that would have strengthened the imagery as well -
Patience and persistance - it really paid off for I know that insects just don't cooperate well;-) Kudos to you for acomplishing such a creative shot . |

| I absolutely love your concept, your shot, and your self-criticisms. I honestly thought this was a "flag tablecloth," until I read what you had to say. Your noticing the ant's being on red rather than white — and that phenomenon's taking away from the ant — too, is quite shrewd. That said, no matter the "flaws," this is, indeed, a marvelous picture. Great work! |

You have so much creativity and forethought/ Lets quit our jobs and start a multi-million dollar corporate thinktank. We could come up with Ideas like "New Coke" and "Crystal Pepsi" and that internet delivery service- or the Chrysler PT cruiser/
You could have the ideas, and I could bring the beer.

| 8 - Very good and funny. Criticism; tablecloth/colors dominate, or rather, compete with the ant and his load. Technically, whilst no 'expert', looks like you have achieved good focus on 'a third(s)'. 'Line(s)' are nice and straight, as I said, just the colors detract from this in my opinion. (2nd review); colors are growing on me, but I still think they compete too much, but I realize now 'picnic tablecloth', so apologies there. Can't quite take it to 8 though, re the 'strict application' for the Challenge, I would just like to have seen it 'stricter' somehow, though the originality is great. But yes on further 'review' I can see you have used more than one rule here. No clue why this needed validation either, who knows. Great shot. Ok, ok, 8, especially because of your efforts, and that of the ant. |

| This is awsome! Creativity well executed, I think it'd work well as stock. I do kindof get the faint impression that hes going uphill so the table cloth might not be completly horizontal. I think it actually works here, but I don't know if thats intentional for one, and two even if thats the case. My eyes just might be tired :) |
