One shot from last summer. The wind and the thin stem made flash necessary. Comments and suggestions more than appreciated.

Canon 40D, Sigma 150macro, f/5,6, 1/250sec, ISO100, built-in flash at -1 stop, HH.

This would have been a good submission for the WC this week. The catchlight and rimlighting on the ladybug are just great as is the BG which goes from dark green to light blue - the detail is alos quite nice. I like it as posted.
