 close-up of screw on fence board. Used an extension tube, hand-held in bright sunlight.





looks like many people thought the ant was the subject... that wouldn't be much of a puzzle.

Wow! If this is a screw head that ant must be soooo tiny! The detail is fabulous!

This image has a subject but could use some sharpness. That's the beauty of Macro Photography to me... being able to see textures that ordinarily unnoticed.

Not sure what the puzzle here is exactly supposed to be, but the macro is fantastic, strking detail on the ant.

I like how you have the ant in the picture, but I feel like it's not much of a "puzzle macro" anymore. 5.

Funny, I really did just wipe a little black one of these off my desk. Nice details.

looks like a screw to me, not sure where a yellow screw would be.

is the ant walking on something painted? the yellow piece at the left takes away from the background.

screw head

Great shot of an ant. I guess the puzzle is what he (or she) is on. I'd say a painted over phillip's screw. If you need more specifics, based on the color I'd guess from Caterpiller equipment.

A tiny ant on the head of a screw?? Great detail!

That's a freaky looking ant, but what is it on? It kinda looked like part of a bottle opener, but I know that is not right.

That is one mean ant. Good shot.

Well it's an ant of course.... but you're probably looking for a guess on what the ant is on? Hmmmmm.... okay I give... don't know what it is. But this is a great shot. I love the clarity and focus of the ant and the yellow thingymabob.. Oh yes that's what it is... I knew it would come to me.
