No! I cannot agree with ponder. Perhaps some ordinary conventional ant, seen in all his tediously conventional 'tack-sharp' detail (if we could really stomach yet another one of those), would justify such conventional placement in the frame. But this is just not that kind of ant. This ant is an explorer, intent on finding the monsters at the edge of the world. He knows what's behind him; he's tirelessly mapped it for those colonists that will follow. What he does not know, and nor do we, is what lies ahead.

He needs to be seen at the edge of the known world, because that's what he does and that's where you'll find him.

I know how difficult this shot must have been especially with a G9, but the ant to me is running out of your image. I would have rather seen it placed to the far left, so that it appears to be running into your image instead of out of it. That said I still like the feeling of motion, your color and lighting here. Ants are extremely difficult to shoot because they are always in motion. Interesting shot!


Thanks. I do appreciate the feedback. This is one image from a series and as it is it could be total non-sense. That's why I posted the link for the whole series.
