If I were a bug

and if I went into the kitchen, I would meet my AuNT who had moved in with us, while all this rain continues to pour. And that is her rear end...

I know it's not the best picture, but, boy, do these creatures move swiftly.

Very minimal, hope she's alone?!

@30pics4jackiesdiamond heheee... the previous days, there were more of them, and today, when I thought of taking this picture for the theme, there was only this one... when you need them, they're nowhere in sight...

[Susan Wakely]

Love it. The other are there I guarantee!

[Sally Ings]

Fabulous minimalist capture. I'm always wary when I find only one, the others must be waiting nearby.

[Mags]

Marvelous POV on this little thing!

[Ole Kristian Valle]

Nice DOF and minimalistic expression

[Lesley]

Hahaha you had me fooled. Excellent!

[Diana]

Great shot and pov, we have hundreds here atm.

[borof]

Good insight.

[Korcsog Károly]

As I take a closer look, this is the scout for the team! 👀 😄

@kork you make me laugh!!!! Thank you! You did it yesterday too!!! That was a brilliant comment.

[Lin]

Great closeup!

[RonM]

Some ants are not really aUnts.

[Pyrrhula]

Love the empthy space and composition.

[KV]

Spectacular focus... so cool!

[Ingrid]

A cool picture!

[moni kozi]

@kvphoto Well, the focus was ok, but the subject moved swiftly and the light was not helping out. If you zoom in, you can see the antennae moved. I now wonder why didn't I increase the ISO...

@monikozi I like the slight movement... but I love the narrow window of focus and the way the top and bottom smooth out.

[moni kozi]

@kvphoto Thank you. Yes, I thought a shallow dof would be suitable to emphasize the size of the creature. But it was hard to capture the creature right in that portion. It moved very very swiftly and unpredictably. I even tried panning... :D But that didn't work out. That would have been a great shot.

[KV]

@monikozi Panning is difficult at best... I never would have thought about panning on such a tiny subject. I love the way you see the world and I so enjoy your vision of it.

@kvphoto These are beautiful words. Thank you so much for this compliment. It means a lot to me as I look up to you and your photography.
