Fantastic image Swaheel! The sharp rendition of the ant and curve of the petal is giving an amazing feel to the image. I liked your processing in handling the contrast as well. You are doing some great close ups with lens reversal technique. Kudos!

awesome stuff, love the composition and tones, makes me want to get into macro :-)

Nice composition here Swaheel. The depth of field and relative size of the ant makes it interesting. Some more definition on ant would have added I guess. Easier said than done - doing macro work at this maginification is nothing but pain. Thanks for sharing..

Thank you so much, everyone! Great to hear that you all liked it.

@ Ganesh: Completely agree regarding the need for better definition on the ant. And yes, it is definitely a pain, literally. You will understand that more than most of us here :)
