Great as always Ronny!

One from me, Olympus E-M1, Nikon Micro Nikkor 55mm F3.5 with about 30mm extension tubes. Learning as I go. Not extremely sharp or anything special but was happy enough about getting "some sharpness" and the moving ant with that shallow DOF.

Edited with new sharpened version as per suggestion

Nice image. I think it would respond well to some localized sharpening on the head and antenna.

I believe you are right! Will fix during the day and re-upload it, thanks for the advice!

Be restrained with it. I find I am sometimes tempted to overdo it.

Thanks again

Yeah I do as well, one of the reasons I didn't do any local adjustments here and only applied it to the entire photo. Will redo it and remove from the rest and do some local on the head and antenna, will see how it turns out

So re-upload and local sharpening added to ant, mostly head and antenna and some to the top of what ever it's carrying.

Not a whole lot of difference but maybe some, shot pretty soft to start with :/

It was worthwhile on e.g. the eye and the mandible.

A couple of days early but Happy Fourth of July everyone.

Hot today in Missoula - 98 degrees, but low humidity!
Braved the heat for a few minutes and grabbed the following:

A lily and 4 roses. Nikon Df, 105mm Ai Q.C. with 12mm ring (a Curtis touch)

All shot within 15' of each other on the side of a neighbors house.

Kevin,
I really appreciate you taking time to leave a comment.
Even Curtis can teach an "old dog" new tricks (105mm + 12mm ring)!
