I like the image as presented, I was imagining another frame Adithya, just the legs of the ants from the upper layer and the legs of the ants from the lower layer, with more emphasis on the cracks in the leaves
. Interesting observations made, do you have some other angles ? I was thinking of a view with the leaf parallel to the film plane, I know 90% of the times it's not possible out there, thinking so much as I think you had a cracker of a subject to work with.
