 Ant died in my bathroom sink so I thought it made for a pretty harsh enviroment for him.

Now that's funny! Extra point for "harsh"! I wish the focus were a bit more on the victim though. (Seems like the focus is just slightly in front of the ant.)
Try experimenting with levels in post processing on this shot to get a wider range - meaning whiter light colors and blacker darks - for me, that would add to this shot.
Good subject for your entry!

lol, great take on the challenge. Bathroom fixtures and drains are some of the harshest enviroments for insects!

odd choice of harsh environment, if the ant were focused on a bit more this probably would score higher
