 Taking the Long Way Home

Chasing an ant up a log is awesome, they move so fast it has to be hand held. This fellow would not even stop for a sniff of anything; this is the best of a number of frames.

The shallow depth of field here and your angle create a whole world from an ant's perspective. Very, very cool shot!
