Looks good to me! For my camera I'd have 37 pictures with the tube in focus, 37 with various pieces of gravel in focus and two usable pictures of the ant!Nylanderia Flavipes queen chilling
How is it? It’s still one of my first 75 pics. I’m pretty new to my camera. I think I got lighting down, working on my manual abilities and experimenting with settings. This was shot in auto though haha.

Polyrhachis hookeri worker from a nest near me
Here is one worker that had a blue head (to the naked eye) green body and gold gaster.
Some others were all green, and others all blue!
