I never saw an eye of an ant with such a magnification! :oops:
Interesting to see that the eyes looks more or less like an eye from a fly but the facetts are round. And look at these intersting structures on the exoskeleton! Amazing Microworld Explorer Microworld Explorer

There is only a bit of overexposure on the upper part of the eye from the LED diffusor. But that's just a little detail which don't affects the image quality.

Thank you, Jack Jack ! Exactly! Because of that I love macro photography, especially extreme macro. It lets you see the things you would never see daily. And most people even don't know how amazing world is around them.

That's so true, and that's the reason why I been build this community, to bring together all macro photographers, unfortunately I found it hard, as a lot are focused on Facebook.

Here is down to the photographer's eye to see perspectives and to make unique composition, I think for macro photographers this can be easily achieved as macro world is a different level of photography with more options to achieve exactly what you wish.
