at one end of the room was an ant's nest, at the other was a pile of leaves, and there was a rope snaking its way across the room. My shot is a vertical stretch of rope. It was quite dark and I struggled to get a good focus, hence the ants weren't too sharp.

Great macro, I think having the ants on the side of the rope could have worked better

Not sure that I like the image. Perhaps a different perspective and a bit more focus would help this along. Also think that a black background dropped in behind it might have helped to bring out some life in the image.

I don't see what's the risk.

When shooting something like this try not to place the subject dead center in the shot. Place it to one side or the other in the frame to give it a less calculated fell.

Sharperness could really be a bit better here, the top ant seems to be in focus but the other to are not. Maybe using a smaller aperture (bigger #) would help to bring more in to focus in the shot.

Nice tones but the lack of sharpness and composition let this down.
