Yet another renom. Good quality and EV, showing an interesting behaviour. Could be added to other articles as well. Countering bias against ant images.
Previous Nom
For me, an image speaks a 1000 words and so the image has greater value since it shows something not explained in the text. I don't know much about ants' digestive or respiratory systems or I would add something to the articles. --

You've been looking at too many focus stacks :) It's probably impossible to photograph an ant at anything smaller than f/11 without significant diffraction softening. They're just too small. So yes, he could get more depth of field, but he would rapidly lose sharpness. I imagine it's already down-sampled due to some diffraction softening at f/11. At f/13 it would probably have to be down-sampled to 1000px or less (to keep the same sharpness), thus barely meeting the resolution requirement. There really is a huge different between photographing a 10mm bug and a 4mm bug. We can't use the same standards for both.

Comment Not centered properly. Consider removing the rightmost eighth or so of the shot so the ant is dead center. That eighth ads little to the shot. _Nezzadar_☎_05:33, 17 October 2009 (UTC)reply
Conditional Support for Edit Yeah, it is better cropped, however I am worried about the EV. The lead shot for
carpenter ant could be switched out for yours, upping the EV. Not so for the shot in
Formicinae, which I think is a better pic and is already an FP. If you can get this ant in as the lead for
carpenter ant I'll support that edit. _Nezzadar_☎_17:31, 18 October 2009 (UTC)reply
