On my last day in La Union, I told myself I will take pictures of anything that fancies me, but I wasn't able to fully enjoy that because my brother asked me to come with him to the city where he will attend a meeting. It ate my time, yes, but it was still a fulfilling day as I was able to take pictures of St. William the Hermit Cathedral. Anyway, as we were walking along the plaza to the bus stop, I noticed one of the benches in the plaza and asked brother to stop for a while as I took a picture.
It was so interesting seeing the other ants trying to carry this one big ant! I am not a fan of ants at all, but I could say they look so pretty in this picture! Taken using Canon Powershot A580 digital camera, set to foliage, macro, no flash.
Happy weekends!

That's a truly great shot, Jenn.
ReplyDeleteWhat a unique shot! And I'm not real fussed with ants either, but this is a piece of art!
ReplyDeleteAmazing photo. Sort of wonderful and horrible at the same time. The red ones don't look like they are friends to the big guy. Astonishing photo, though. The light and composition are wonderful... Way cool.
ReplyDeleteWow,... that's what you call teamwork, right? lol. Great clear macro shot. Have a wonderful weekend.
ReplyDeleteGreat shot. I love the lighting on this too.
ReplyDeleteWow! Excellent capture and composition. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteWOW! That's truly amazing shot! and yeah..teamwork! :D hehe Thanks for passing by!
ReplyDeleteThere is such drama in this fantastic shot! Wonderful!
ReplyDeletewell captured!
ReplyDeleteThis a fantastic macro shot. I am glad you shared.
ReplyDeleteam not actually a fan of the ants, too (though they do help us a lot when it comes to cleaning the planet! lol), but i love taking their picture!
ReplyDeleteawesome macro!
What a very unusual picture. It has value as a record of an event I can't begin to explain but it is a superb shot. Those shadows make it art.
ReplyDeleteFantastic shot, I don't like them either!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting.

ReplyDeleteI deleted my previous comment for I made a mistake. Here is what I wanted to say: It is very interesting. I wish I could take such shots, but either my camera isn't good enough or the photographer isn't! I think the latter. BTW are the red ants attacking the black ant?
ReplyDeleteI'm not a fan of the ant, but this is a great shot! How did you get them to pose like that?
ReplyDeleteFascinating picture, even though it makes my flesh creep!
ReplyDeleteThat is a fantasatic image! Ceratinly very different. Well done.
ReplyDeleteGreat shot! I was trying to get ant pictures this week, ironically, but I couldn't get the little buggers to stand still long enough! LOL
ReplyDeleteThat's certainly a first in camera critters!!
ReplyDeleteAwesome capture - truly fascinating to see them at work.
ReplyDeleteAn excellent shot! I like it a lot!
ReplyDeleteYou have clever eyes! This is an EXCELLENT shot! Bravo!
ReplyDeleteGreat shot! I wouldn't have thought ants would photograph so well!
ReplyDeleteI have to say, that's creepy, yet beautiful. lol It's rare I use those two words together. Amazing macro shot though. Good work!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by and saying hi at my place. :o)
Like you, in the previous post, they were also to the market. ;)
ReplyDeleteThis is a truly spectacular photo! The color and detail you captured in this is amazing!
ReplyDeleteWhat a different shot that is. :)
ReplyDeletevery interesting photo!
ReplyDeleteThis is a great photo! Really well-defined features! I like that you gave us your settings - I have a Canon digital as well. I'm going to have to experiment more - somehow I get stuck on Auto a lot. Have a great week, and thanks for stopping by earlier. :)
ReplyDeleteJenn: what a great job to thinl of posting this on CC day. It is so interesting.
ReplyDeleteAnts are amazing critters, and your photo captures them magnificently. Thanks for sharing, and for visiting mine at Small Reflections.
ReplyDeleteHugs and blessings,
Cool shot,although ants kind of gross me out. Have to admire the strength and tenacity though.
ReplyDeleteThe ants are nice, but the picture is wonderful. The clarity and shadows are fabulous.
ReplyDeleteThat is a fantastic shot! Well done.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on POTD at David (McMahon)'s - I came over from his blog.
Gee, is it an antbulance do you think Jenn? Are they taking him to the anthospital? Great shot, as David says...but a bit gruesome for all that, lol!
