Support Oh I love the composition and the contrast with the finely detailed foreground and impressionist background. And the ant! -- Colin (talk) 17:31, 5 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! There is also a fly near the ant/bug/whatever, but I like the big lurking spider concealed in the bush. :) It's a bit difficult to spot so beware all small critters! --Cart (talk) 17:43, 5 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I saw the fly but wasn't so sure but didn't want to embarrass myself if it was part of the twig. I have found the spider now and can just make out the web nearby. -- Colin (talk) 17:54, 5 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Support The ant and the spider are just cherries on the cake. --Podzemnik (talk) 19:54, 5 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Glad you see it that way since I didn't take the photo for the animals, they just happened to be living there. --Cart (talk) 21:04, 5 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose sorry to be the party pooper here. There aren't enough interesting things to explore IMHO and it lacks wow factor. Maybe if there were more animals / better visible ones ... – Lucas 20:25, 5 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Support I still can't see the spider, but great anyways. --Granada (talk) 06:35, 6 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I've put a note to where the spider is. It's legs span several leaves. :) --Cart (talk) 08:27, 6 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

weak support If those corny "snail sitting on a mushroom in the rain reaching for a wild strawberry" pictures were real, this is where the scene would take place. Problem is that part of me now really wants to have a snail in there. Or at least something that can replace that annoying diagonal twig to the left of the spruce cone. Or maybe I'm just jealous because once again you've managed to take an image I've failed to capture myself in the past. No, no, no, I'm sure it's the twig. Yes, I hate that twig. --El Grafo (talk) 08:38, 7 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

But, but, but without the twig, where would the ant sit? <<feign sobbing>> You are quite right that this photo has its roots in the children's books I read when I was very small, their pictures influenced my way of looking at forests. The books were by Elsa Beskow, a Swedish version of Beatrix Potter, and if you look at one or maybe two of her books you might recognize something. ;-) --Cart (talk) 09:21, 7 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I was thinking more along the lines of these awfully staged images, but with those links you triggered some very faint memories of similar books … --El Grafo (talk) 09:57, 7 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Support This is a fine example of an image that suffers when reduced to a low pixel count as visible above, but gains greatly when displayed with its native resolution. At low pixel count the background trees are simply too prominent and overwhelm the treelet at right, but at native resolution they just disappear as through some magic. I love images that teem with details, and this is surely one. The exquisitely feathered mosses, the twigs, and, of course, the fly, the spider, even the spider's web contribute to a grand image of nature in its humbler dimensions.
