I think you may well get a few adverse comments about the framing of this. It doesn't really add to the image in my opinion.

Funny! Nice idea cleverly executed. I like the way you tipped the log so that the ant is going uphill. Exposure is good; composition is nice. The ant is a bit difficult to make out. The oval white "border" is not pleasing.

creative idea, a lighter background would have made the ant stand out better

I voted this one down for two reasons. First, I can barely make out the ant. Second, I just can't believe that you tied that string around the ant and he is pulling the miniature trolley.

Voted earlier, returning for comments.

Is this slavery? Bumping from 5 to 6.

I don't like the oval framing, but the shot is brilliant.

Great idea! I don't think that they border enhances the shot at all. It's destracting

That vignette effect kills this. It looks like it was an interesting, dynamic picture without it.

Don't like the frame, otherwise pretty cool

Very creative, but the ant is too small to see!
