Dr. Eugenijus Kavaliauskas Winning Ant Photo Is Freaking People Out

Lithuania photographer Dr. Eugenijus Kavaliauskas’ “Images of Distinction” winning photo is getting a lot of discussion on the internet these days. The photo was entered into Nikon‘s Small World Photomicrography contest and is titled Ant (Camponotus), and was shot on his Canon EOS R camera and a 65mm macro lens.
