Simple setup : myself, a lawnmover, a fake 3 cm ant. Camera on the tripod horizontal arm, on the ground, polariser filter, selftimer. Several tries to get the right view of both the ant and myself. Wanted to create a smile by expressing the danger for small animals to live in a garden, from the view of the animal. I tried with different shirts on. I chose this one because of the total of primary colors with the rest of the picture.

It took me forever to find this photo again. Then I just remember to go to my statistically favorites! I just wanted to say you got my one 10 for the challenge =)
Thanks Meggie and Eric (and others during the challenge) glad you like my shot, I still like it a lot myself. And I keep wondering, how on earth could I have used a real bug ? I don't kill animals for pictures. And with myself in the picture using the self timer it needed to sit still for 10 seconds....
This is THE best shot of the challenge. To all the nay-sayers - of course it is a toy ant! You should have titled it, "Now where did I leave my toy ant?" GREAT SHOT!
