Nice work !
They are as if dancing

I think, maybe it would have been even better without the shadow on right.

What is the distance between the camera and the ants for getting such image? I havnt got macro obje yet: do not imagine how it feels

Thanks for comments

Aiki, I agree it would have been better without the shadow on the right but these guys are so quick you have to take any opportunity when it arises
Working distance was probably around 30cm from memory.

Tony, I haven't a clue
Regards Huw

I love this pic and even though it would have looked better without that shadow to the right I would be really proud to have caught this moment.

Excelent done!
