| Great idea. I think that the lower perspective is more dramatic and would still have met the challenge easily. Spectacular. |

Thank you for the helpful comments and beneficial feedback.
For the record, the first time I saw another 'ant' picture was in this challenge (although surprised to see it ('Social Circle'), for me it was still a different concept). I conceded then my idea wasn't as original as I thought. When I saw "..i saw the same shot on..", I thought that I was going to see MY photo at that link. The referred photo I saw was indeed similar to my 'pre-pp' image, but it was the first time I had ever seen it. It was also the first time I ever saw the original to THAT photo (read the comments there if you are interested).
I concede the idea is not that novel now, but I did before that delusion was shattered ":)". All part of the 'learning'.
Here are some of the 'finalists' for my entry. My better half (who it seems was right, as usual) preferred the sharper angle, but I wanted to ensure it looked like a CIRCLE.
I chose the one I did because I liked the angle best and I liked how the ants out of focus created a 'blurred border'. I also liked the two ants in the foreground. For me 'the subject' was the actual circle, not the ants.
The original before 'pp':
PS: My Icelandic is a little rusty.

| Ingenius. More attention paid to the actual capture and this would have won a high place and bib accolades. Bumping up on great idea. |

| For this contest everyone who has the word âcircleâ in their title is getting a lower score. This is a copy and paste version that I am including in every photo that I downgrade due to the title. We as members of DPchallenge know the topic of the challenge â we do not need to reread the topic every time we reach a photo. If circle is in the title and it is appropriate I will most likely not down grade, but it better be good. I am sorry if you do not agree with my method of protest â but scores are all I have. |

| This could have been great with a smaller aperature. As it is, only the two closest ants are in focus, and those don't seem all that in focus. I like the idea. I have seen a similar ant shot already, but I think I like this one better. May come back to this later. Well done. |

| Content fascinating. Over exposed leading to loss of highlight detail in top areas of frame. This is one case where I think I'd prefer more depth of field. |

| I like the content, but it seems to lose is with the lack of focus at the far end. Also a little to much glare distracts from the main body of the picture. |

| Should have gotten more depth of the field, the ants are the primary subject so they need to be in focus in the back and left side as well |
