Sorry, pretty weak. DNMC IMHO.

A bit DNMC though....The DOF is too short, and the not cloned out sensor's dust are very visible here.

Looks like somebody has the same dust on their sensor that I have... *sigh* The good news is that removing it is legal in even Basic Editing... and Advanced Editing. 'Nough said about that.

I'd like a bit more detail in the ant. Perhaps some dodging/burning or Shadow/highlights for this??

Also, a less centered subject would score more highly, I think. I'd have cropped off a bit on the left and a smidgeon on the top.

But, I'm just an amateur... so do as you wish. :)

I can't vote on this or give it much of a comment because ants are pretty much the one thing in life that I have a phobia of - give me snakes and tarantulas any time, I can't understand why people are scared of those. Sorry that's not helpful, but I wanted to give everybody something to read... PM me a pic of a different subject from your portfolio and I'll be happy to give my thoughts. ::shivers::

Is it just me, or does he have a little bug in his mouth?? That does indeed look cool. And I guess he does look a little puzzled.
