[Leica] [OM] IMG: Ants on a Leaf

[Jim Nichols]

Why what, Steve?  My comment about the color reliability?

My only reliable color in the image was the brown leaf.  As I worked 
through Lightroom Developer, I could easily portray the ant as dark red 
or black, depending on how I adjusted the slider.  I used the leaf as a 
guide, and, doing so, the ants look black, which is what my eye tells 
me.  But, in truth, they could also be very dark red.

That's how I see it. :-)
