Mixed feelings on the diagonal shadows. In one way it adds to the shot, in another, it makes for too busy. Overall I think it could use a tad more punch in the way of levels, or added brightness/contrast, or as some call it, luminosity.

I like the lighting, the ant, and the composition. I would have preferred the center have more focus.

I do like how the diagonal lighting contrasts with the water droplets. I think the crop is fine, just maybe boost up a little the colors, brighten it a little?

I especially like the diagonal shadows from the grass. They add a real energy to this shot.

Good focus, like the view from the top, love the drops of water and the ant. The crop is possible a bit too tight, which may cause this to look "busy". Probably needs to be brightened, too.

What great lighting. Normally I don't like a bunch of shadows but this is perfect. love the water drops. And the title is great because not only is the ant visiting the flower but I saw a higher meaning in it as well... We are all just visitors to mothers natures beauty and to capture it in a photograph is to stop the decay of time dead in its tracks and make it immortal.

the lines of the shadows really give this a great feel

I like the overall mood of this. The colors seem a little muddy, however.

Light slanted to give dramatic shadows. Love the color and mystery.

hmm, there is alot going on, the dappled light, the droplets, the ant is almost lost in the shadows there. can you bring up the lighting on that one spot? ( I really have no clue about PS)
the flower is quite lovely and that seems almost "beside the point" with so much in the image, the picture (to me) is a bit chaotic, and loses the serenity of the bloom.
that's my 2cents anyway..

I like this shot...with the ant. Great water droplets. Crop seems fine to me. Is there a way to selectively apply saturation? Maybe a touch more saturation in the center of the flower?
