Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.
Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.
Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.
Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

You guys might have seen these before, but not highlighted per se.
I always like to get a side on perspective or front perspective ... the ant would turn and run at me pretty much every time ... never got one of him running at me as i aws too busy trying to not get bitten.
The shagging bugs were hopping around all over the place. I'd lie on the dirt and wriggle closer and closer ... until they hop off somewhere else.
The last bug was just a big friendly somethingarather, grasshopper?
Defender of the tribe
What are you looking at?
Debauchery in nature ;
Hey man, where can I get a beer? its hot out here.

The picture of the ants are great and I love the detail in the tiny little pebbles around him/ her
Find something you love to do and you'll never have to work a day in your life.

How on eart do you focus on something so small with such shallow DOF, great work!
That last one is HUGE! the biggest grass hopper we get over here can't be any bigger than an inch or so. That one must have been on 'roids!

man tell me about, I'd lie down along side him and start trying to nail the focus etc ... then he'd turn and run full speed toward me.
Dont know about you, but if something 900,000 times my size and weight with a RPG the size of a sky scraper was trying to take my photo i wouldnt charge at him.
Smart little suckers those ants, I've watched some very itneresting doco's on ants, their societies, particularly in africa.
Damn they hurt !
