thank you! :-P
it was impossible to place the tripod to lack of space and the ongoing frantic motion made, after all, easier to follow them freehand (naturally on the trunk ;-))

“ probably makes it better in horizontal „

you're probably right; ants going up and down the empty positions along the trunk of the tree from whose hair would pick up bits of leaves, continuously and in 2 distinct files, I have not thought to change the direction of the shot: fconfuso:
New Year's Greetings!

Congratulations for the capture and composition. And congratulations also to have been able to portray this as a difficult subject having regard to its mobility '. I also really like the black background.

thank you all! :-P

“ How did you get such an enlargement „

I was very close (the ants were not at all bothered by my presence as long as I do not piazzassi on their way) close-up lens +2 and many, many test shots trashed before having an acceptable one:-D
