You might have guessed I'd like this one, Alex, with my inordinate fondness for Formica. But, just wondering -- Was this the original orientation of the image, or did you rotate it to put the ants on flat ground, so to speak?
Ha! You're quite the detective, James. I bent the branch to be close enough to the ground so that I'd get a decent (=non-black) backdrop, and that changed the orientation of the scene. The image itself is straight off the camera, so this is the orientation I saw in the viewfinder.
