Hi Malyka,
I am rather pleased to see you making this photograph using a compact camera, and here's the reason why. Most compact cameras have a very small sensor and thanks to the physics of photography, this means that by comparison to larger DSLR cameras they actually have the depth of field. This is not so significant when it comes to taking landscape photographs, but becomes really useful when you want to make macro photographs like this one.
In making this photograph the one thing I would be inclined to do is actually to 10 photograph into the vertical and get a little bit closer. This will help us see the detail in the ant while at the same time eliminating some of the distractions, in particular from a stone to the bottom left of the picture.
Good effort; keep up the good work, Anthony.
