Mmmmm! Milkweed Photo

Photographer’s Note

This is the stuff Monarch butterflies are made of. The monarch caterpilar favors this type of milkweed to feast on. After devouring all the leaves the caterpilars find a sutible place to change and metomorph into the beautiful Monarch butterfly. No butterflies today though, so the ants decided to have a party!
This is my third scavenger hunt pic. Something Orange

Great frame, very good composed and great colours. the contrast between the ants and the flowers is great.

This is one of those clear macros that just "pops". I think the depth is good, showing the relative size of the flower, as well as the ants, whose clarity actually makes me itch. Great colors.

This could also be "an animal in it natural habitat"!. Great colors, and good use of DOF. I'd crop the top of the shot to focus more on the flower. Well done
