TrappedWhy do we take and keep photographic images.  Because the photographer or someone likes the shot or feels there is a use for the image.  A nonpartisan viewer may not know or understand the photographs presented, that is not what is important.  What is important is that the photographer places value in the shot.

This macro shot of an ant trapped in a spider’s web is a very unusual subject.  The photographer has captured some interesting detail in this creepy subject.  As a viewer I personally find the subject to be a facet of nature I would rather not observe up close.

One of the issues with macro photography that has to be overcome is depth of focus.  In this image a smaller aperture may have allowed the entire subject to be in focus.  I would suggest trying to get more detail in the spider web otherwise the ant looks like it is suspended in midair.
