*Greetings from Critique Club*
LOL - I just commented on this shot, but I'll try to be a little more specific. First of all, I think this met the challenge topic well. There's no question that it includes some interesting textures.
Composition
I like the angle of this shot and the perspective from the "ant's" point of view. However, I think that by cropping so that the tree trunk base is not in the dead center of the bottom of the frame, you could improve the appeal to viewers.
Lighting/Color
The lighting is a little harsh, but I think could be fixed with a little processing. The colors could also use a bump or two. I reviewed your profile & portfolio, and found that there are a number of shots that seem a bit overexposed IMHO. Most of them look like they were taken in the middle of the day (which can be pretty unforgiving when it comes to lighting as you probably know). You might try shooting more at daybreak or sunset to soften some of the highlight issues. (Just a suggestion - hope I'm not overstepping any boundaries or sound condescending, cuz I'm not trying to be.)
Overall
Like I said earlier, I think this has the potential to be a great shot - it just needs a little more work.
Just my 2 cents... :-)

| I think this could be a really great photo. Unfortunately, I think it currently could use a little work on lighting, color and DOF. The lighting is a bit harsh, causing a glare. The angle of the shot is interesting, but because of the crop it is difficult for the viewer to get his/her bearings right away - you might try moving the tree trunk out of the center of the shot. The textures of the bark are great. |
