Submitter's name:	John Hudson
Title:	Ant on the job
Gear used:	E500 with 50mm / f2 digital macro, hand held, full frame and not cropped.
Aperture and shutter speed:	Not recorded
Comment:	This was a chance "grab shot". The lighting was poor, there was a slight breeze and the flower was swaying. The ant was twitching and within half a second of taking the photo it had disappeared off the flower. The focusing is not as good as it might have been!

Sure, focussing is a little off on the ant itself, but considering what you were up against -- poor lighting, breeze, swaying flower, moving ant -- I think you did a fine job. I really like the composition and colours, and just love the quality of the out-of-focus areas. That 50mm f2 macro is at the top of my wish list.
