Interesting title.
The bug would have been better off in focus, so that your "petite darkness" would have had more of an element of mystery to it.
That's how you build sympathy with your subject.
Anyway, I'm off. |

| this is a spectacularly composed shot..and I love the ant as the subject..but I fail to see (both on a literal meaning of it being dark or emotional / intent as darkness) the relevance of it in this challenge? again, nothing against this photo..but aside from the dark ant I just really don't understand how it represents darkness to you (and I'm a pretty open minded guy, you got me stumped heh) =) |

Nice that you filled the whole frame with your flower macro (pansy is it?). Decent detail in the small detail at the center.
Obviously you will be beat up over submitting a flower to a darkness challenge but you are already know that so should not be surprised.
On the technical side tere are a cople suggestions for improvement. Shallow depth of field (DOF) is always a problem with macro images. The ant is not in very good focus. That is either because the DOF is too shallow or the ant was movign a little during the exposure. It is difficult to tell which it might be but might be a slow shutterspeed. You might have considered another shot without the ant in it.
For a macro the focus is still soft. They are always best with razor sharp focus. The color and/or contrast in this image is weak. Both should be beefed up to give the image more visual impact. There is great detail in the leaves that is crying to be brought out. |

| if the bug was more in focus, this image could be much more dramatic... |
