Wonderful shot – part of me wants to scoop it up and help it on its way; yet another part of me wonders, how is it that this little being can figure out how to live in harmony with this earth and we humans cannot…

My day wouldn’t be complete without a stop at Earthshots. This photo is an incredible example of the power of observation. You would’ve missed those insect tracks if you hadn’t been paying attention. The way they merge with the natural lines in the sand makes this all the more effective. GREAT shot, Stefano.

Great shot, but I feel that keeping the insect right in the middle of the frame is not such a good idea. You could have placed it slightly higher

Very nice and well composed. DOF is a little shallow though.

Interesting scene. The desert makes most things seem small.
