Cute capture. The lighting seems to be very extreme with a range from very dark to very bright. A diffuser would have probably helped to bring the range within that that the camera could resolve without overexposing some areas (head, hand, wheelbarrow).

Nice idea to use sepia here though it appears to be a little over exposed. Most likely due to the harsh lighting. To compensate for this a diffuser and/or reflector may have helped to allow you to bring out more of the details in the shadows.

Leading lines are used perfectly here. A little more sharpness and depth of field would possibly give this image more appeal.

Good use of DOF and composition though a little more contrast would help emphasize the ant.

Good capture of lines and texture. It's just a touch dark on the right.

Composition and exposure are good. You have used DOF to your advantage though your subject could possibly benefit from sharper focus.

It's always hard to get a balanced image when part of the picture is in bright sunshine and the other part is in shade. You've done a good job to try and limit the amount of bright area in your photo though your foreground still appears to be a bit underexposed. To try and solve this without blowing out the sky you could try using a graduated ND filter to tone down the background and allow you to expose more for the foreground. This would probably work since the transition between bright and shade is in a fairly straight line.

You've captured lots of detail in this closeup though maybe the image could benefit from a little more DOF. Lighting is good, maybe just a tad too bright on the right. The bright green background is a bit distracting as well.

Your title says it all. It's hard to tell his front end from his back end. Though it seems a little dark on the right the lighting on the left is good. A reflector or a flashlight may help in these situations to balance the lighting..

The amount of DOF you used here is appropropriate but a slight shift backwards may work better to get less of the foreground and more of the bug in focus.

Good contrast with the pruple flowers and green foliage.
