Awesome.

I really like the comp of #1 the diagonls of the BG and the ant looks bad ass with them " teeth" coming up at you.

What aperture was photo one taken at?

The reason I ask is, it seems like I would have taken that photo at f/20, but the entire antenna would definitely not be in focus like you have it.

Both of these were shot at 1/250 at f/8 and iso 200 or 400 I don't recall. These ants were super tiny, probably between 4-5mm across. On the antenna I think I just got lucky and it was running in parallel with my dof. If you look at the second pic both antenna are out of focus.
