    Subtle improvements, but a world of difference. This is a great render.

    Thank you folks!!!

    I made a little set-up for this image, it’s very simple, but maybe it will help someone.

    Love it… but i would suggest two things…

    First, make the log less uniform. Currently it is a perfect line, change it so it is bumpy and imperfect.

    Second, I would change the texture on this ant to something more metallic…
    If you look at photos online you will see that they are slightly see through, like when you shine a flashlight underneath your fingertip and it glows. If you could find a way to make it metallic and yet glow through this would be awesome.

    Great work!

    A very stunning render. I feel so drawn into this.

    Though just a couple of things I might critique;
    the scale of the ant looks too big as compared to
    the depth of field plus the tree barks look too
    dark. But other than that, really fantastic image!

    wow… amazing! only thing is that the eyes don’t look quite right, maybe add a subtle spec map to them or something to give some detail.
