You hate this? The ants love it!

Penn Valley, PA

Disgusting to us, but delicious to them. My sharpest macro so far with S400.

Well done, and i appreciate that there's more story here than the typical digicam insect macro shot. I find the background a little distracting. I wonder how it might have looked on plain white (though then you'd have to touch it...)

For what its worth....previous CTFCHALLENGE post was by me.

I like this because, like my moth picture, it made my girlfriend and her mum go 'Urrrrrrgh thats horrible, switch it off'....so I guess we got the hate part. You've also combined love and hate in the same image/story which I think is the toughest part of this challenge. It is a good macro too, though I have a feeling though that the "cute warm cuddly love factor" is going to win through in this challenge rather than anything that is less warm shall we say.

Nice macro. Sharp, and fills the frame. I'd like to see a version that was a little darker.
