A solitary ant roams his domain, a ripe patch of Beauty Berries.

Personally I wouldn't give much above a five myself due to the shallow depth of field resulting in the loss of detail in the lower berries and the ant. but I like the composition and you try and get a solitary ant to do a reshoot. Ants are a bunch of Prima Donnas.

Not in focus and the ant (??) is suposed to be the main subject ... you have to find the insect in the picture ... -3

good photo of the plant, but the insect is somewhat blurred...

I see berries, berries, berries. The insect is like an afterthought. The depth-of-field is shallow. Lighting is flat and harsh flash. Shutter speed too slow.

Good idea. It would be better if the focus at the insects level was clearer and if the lighting wasn't so strong. I like the humor though.

More attention to the insect is needed.

I am having trouble seeing your intent with this, you could send me a message and set me straight if you like

I love the concept but wish more of it were in focus, or that the bug was in focus.

The focus isn't great and it's hard to tell that your subject is the insect. If I were able to vote, I'd give this a 2, given the challenge and the overall professionality of the shot. The color of the grapes is nice.
