Ants are delicate in the sense we all know how easy it is for us to hurt one. In the insect world though, they are sort of warriors. The macro is amazingly close. You can see all the little details of it's body. Perhaps if the ant was displayed a little differently, not as up close , just alone the shot itself would lend to delicate. In any case, it's a great macro. A keeper.

Guess I couldn't help but play with words "ant" and "anti"...I know very lame attempt :)

Nice sharp detailed macro. Not sure about the delicate though. -COAmature

I can see delicate in the skin of the ant. Looks like a stiff breeze would cut it right through. Britt

how is an ant anti delicate? it's so small and it's about the easiest thing there is to hurt.

This is "anti" delicate I'm afraid :)

Good shot but "tiny" has become huge and we all know ants are anything but 'delicate'. Excellent macro with the A610 is motivating me to try with my new A630. I hope it works as well.. -tv
