Details: A photographer named Eugenijus Kavaliauskas from Lithuania entered the 2022 Nikon Small World Photomicrography Competition with this image of an ant’s face that had been five times magnified. The contest honours the craft of microscope photography, which enables individuals to record details that the human eye is unable to see. The competition: The 57 “Images of Distinction” that were chosen included Kavaliauskas’ submission too. According to his portfolio, Kavaliauskas has received several photography awards before for his photos of raptors. The photographer: According to Kavaliauskas, catching an ant was simple because he lives near a forest. The photographer said it’s dull to snap a picture of an ant running idly on the ground, “So I placed it under the microscope and snapped pictures.” Despite being impressive, the picture did not win the competition’s top honour. He did receive one Nikon prize with a price value of $35.
