Of Summer kisses

Two ants incidently meeting on a flower on the side of a path. Is it a coincidence, or nature's date?

Very good scene, lighting and background. I like it. Too bad the heads miss just a bit of sharpness. Posted 12 years ago, modified 12 years ago

  Joost, thank you, that was the sole reason I posted these pictures, the atmosphere was right on. Yet these silly ants refused to sit still, and I really tried talking them into it;) With my extension rings attached I had an extremely shallow depth of field and they just kept bobbing along. I kept missing my head focus.
  I made some 20some shots, and you guessed none of them were spot on. These were actually the best.. Posted 12 years ago

    Yeah, I got that as well. It is almost impossible to take macro pictures of moving insects. Posted 12 years ago
