 This ant was running around on a stone statue in the backyard of my mom's house. It was moving very fast -- this was the most in focus shot I could get because it never would stop moving.

Good attempt. The contrasts could be enhanced and it's a little fuzzy.

I love the composition but the whole thing feels out of focus.

the soft and, and times, even out of focus detracts from this for me

It's a little bit blurry but I'll give you credit because I know ants don't sit still very long. (unless they're dead)

Challenge met. Did you rotate the pic? I can't decide, but I guess it doesn't matter. Like the unobtrusive background, although, if the pic was not rotated, something that gives reference to where up is might have helped :) Anyhow, I think your technical execution lets you down here. There's really nothing in crisp focus and where the plane of focus seems to be the closest is where the ant's body is, not the head, which I personally would've preferred.

Wee bit soft on the focus but the composition and light are very nice. Good job.

Focus appear to be a bit off. Next time shoot several more of the same shot, incase one is off on focus...

Interesting perspective, but is a little soft - looks like camera shake?
