There is a strange kind of order about 'insect' chaos. They seem to know where they are going. Stand in theier way at your peril.

this would have been incredible with more depth of field

But as we all know - there is order within! Love ants. I would have liked maximum DOF in this though to further emphasise the mass of writhing bodies. Perhaps a more overhead view would offer the sense of infinity suggested by your title.

Dibutil, Thanks for your comments. The motion blur wasn't as obvious as I wanted, and I didn't like the background either, but I liked everything else about the picture, so I submitted. I think I'm going to try some different things with the background and maybe have it printed as a keeper. My performance for Feb and Mar is a bit inconsistent, but I think is starting to stabilize. I have three photos in challenges right now and two are 6.3+ and the other is still above my current average. Thanks again.

A nice shot - but perhaps could have been enhanced, by one ant on the leaf, which we could focus our attention on

Come on, I put this one at the first place in my voting and alas...
My opinion is as such:
1. The background is irrelevant - the expression on the face cost a milion!
2. Motion blur + DOF but I still see the motion!
3. I don't need to see even a bit more in the frame - I am perfectly aware that she is riding a bike, I would even dare to guess the phase of the pedals at this moment as well as the height difference between the seat and handles! (not that I am a pro biker, just some experience)

Scrum, do not get disappointed, you are the best no matter what! (and definitely better than me in the same challenge ;-)))

Nice character shot, nice and sharp, effective dof. Some great textures. Composition works well. Tricky shot to expose for, nicely handled here. Not entirely sure about your border, I think a better one could have bumped this up a mark for me.
