It looks like you spent a lot of time shooting this - the framing is interesting. It might also be nice with some curves in Photoshop to add a little color contrast.

The magical light and reflections here make this look like a drawing! It would be nice to tame the highlights on the stick itself though (I realize it's the ice, but it falls right on the stick).

You know, the colors of this log are so grey that there isn't a big difference b/w this and the desaturated image. The most noticable difference is in the mossy green area at the top of the frame. I think the desaturation in the challenge shot is so subtle that you don't notice it at first. It just appears to be a very grey log. I think either shot works pretty well; the ant is in excellent focus and is just colorful enough to stand out against the drab wood. The mossy area is a bit more blurred and the color difference draws more attention to this. So, while it kills me to admit, I think the selective desaturation improves this shot.
