Personal taste, but I would run a Velvia or Provia action over this to make the colours zing. Either way it's a cracking shot.

I thought this was not bad. I gave it a 5. The problem I see is that it wants to be an abstract, but it isn't quite abstract enough. On the other hand, it wants to be a nature shot, but it's too abstract.

I wished you could have waited a split second so we could have had more of the ant visible. Other than that, the composition is nice. Both subjects are off center and balance each other. The colors are nice as well.

I think that this one suffered from the focus not being crystal clear. While we can make out the head of the ant inside the flower, everything looks blurred to me. These types of shots don't typically do well on this site. Also, bringing the ants position to the left would have helped out your composition some by bring the the center of the flower more into the frame. Great eye to see such a scene, just not the best of all execution. Notice with your high scoring photographs that your focus is crisp and they have a great contrast of colors.
