Great capture of the mood here - it 'feels' like a downpour, and cold too. Good entry!

Stunning! Perfect composition, lighting and timing. One of my favorites, although it's pushing it a bit (IMHO) for "harsh environments", but no deduction for that, you needed to enter this!

Now that's funny! Extra point for "harsh"! I wish the focus were a bit more on the victim though. (Seems like the focus is just slightly in front of the ant.)
Try experimenting with levels in post processing on this shot to get a wider range - meaning whiter light colors and blacker darks - for me, that would add to this shot.
Good subject for your entry!

Excellent crop for the composition. Experimenting with contrast, or better yet, levels would help make this image pop more in my humble opinion. Good entry!

Gross, but technically are really good shot! Focus is excellent, lighting a bit harsh, but well done!
