Got this ant climbing up in search of guice stored behind the tender leaf of cashewnut tree. Taken against sunlight.
Thanks for viewing. Requesting your valuable comments and suggestions.

Pretty cool image, Venugopal. I like the theme conveyed by the title and the nice comp. I also like the details/pattern in the leaf.

My first reaction on seeing this was to start thinking of the childrens song about the itsy bitsy spider.  While this is an ant, it has me thinking of that song because of it's size even up close like this.  This is a fine look at the leaf and it's veins and that ant makes for a delightful bit of additional interest.

Great catch.  The leaf itself is a very nice image, but the ant adds a lot of context to it.  Well done.
