This was a backup shot. I had been playing with fire ants all day trying to get a shot of one of them on top of a dirt hill so I could title it "King of the Hill" but all they wanted to do was bury themselves underground or run around quicky so I nixed that idea since it wasn't working and I didn't want to go the freeze route.
As for this shot, it's pretty simple. This was shot on my desk in a small glass tank that I filled with dirt. The shot is straight on through the glass. Having the foreground OOF is new to me as I normally don't care for it but here I thought it worked well.

I thought this would score 5.9-6.0 so the score is a welcome surprise. Thanks for the votes and comments.

Excellent again from our captain.....
A great take on dirt, with a great result.
Thank goodness you got a good score mate, as I let you down just a little, re my image in "Dirt".....
Yanko! Dang, I thought this was a beautiful image and voted it high. Sorry to see your team wasn't able to muster enough entries to do you proud in the first half...(you can see I'm not much in trash talkin'.)

Oh, wait, we don't meet you 'till next week!
