Thanks to all for your comments. Olaf, you must be kidding. I never thought how difficult it can be to get an ant exactly into the focal plane in its full length. They never sit still even when they are drinking or eating. Stopping down the lens to f/11 would probably have helped. -Gerald

Eric said it: fabulous bokeh and the green-yellow-ish colour is stunning as a backdrop. Nicely done. Regards Nico

Gerald the ant looks a little soft but the rest of the photo I admire great colour and bokeh.
