Had this been a flower challenge you could have cloned out the subject of this photo. Still, it's a funny photo and i appreciate the break from severe B&W.
Killer title! Lovely pic, just not sure it meets the challenge well - very little black or white. I gave you a good score for a pic that DNMC, could be a 10 in say "DPC cliches with a twist"
Boy - I bet you are getting hit hard on this one. I guess my complaint would be that the flower seems to be the main subject at first with the ants coming second. Your title helps make the ants the primary and the shot is pretty nice. Not a dnmc IMO and a nice shot.
This is a very pretty picture, and you do have two black ants, but the intense color and volume of the flower really jump out at me. Thus, perhaps not the best pic for this particular challenge.
Great shot, but not really getting any sense of black and white here. I see a black ant, but no white or grayscale. Again a great shot, just not meeting the challenge description.
This is beautiful. Focus is really sharp and ant is nice and clear. However, it doesn't appear to be black and white. I know the ant is black, but the flower commands the eye on this one. Since many have done a wonderful job at keeping within the black and white idea, I can't in good conscience give this one a high score, though if it were entered in flowers, or spots or something it would do much better.
