Great photographs. You really need to try shooting macro, especially insects, to truly appreciate how hard is to make such photographs. Great DOF and great lighting.

there are some lovely photos on this post.
taking shots of ants really isn't easy. getting them to stand still is a nightmare as i found out last weekend. aparantly if you put them in the freezer for a while they slow down a bit….anyone else heard of this technique?
