I spotted this lone daisy in our back garden this afternoon and thought it was a good subject for a simple, minimalist photo. Ideally I would have like a little more depth of field but I spent as long as I dared on my hands and knees on our lawn evading the jaws of the many ants which inhabit it. I’m afraid my dedication to macro photography stops at the point where I start getting eaten!

Simple is the hardest shot of all!!! Great image....get the vinegar out for the ant bites!! :) LAZYWASP · 2011-05-12: 16:12

Beautiful shot. Forget the vinegar, what about the boiling kettle. The grass will soon recover. kay · 2011-05-12: 16:15
