Nice details at the head/thorax and a pleasing comp of the six spot?
I especially like this POV of the ladies face :smile:
Well done Sandy :wavey:

That red ladybug really stands out nicely against the white flower. Lovely shot and excellent details in the lady.

I like the diagonal composition and the contrast between the ladybug and the flowerhead. DOF placement is right on.

Well captured, Sandy. Ladybugs usually move pretty fast, but you caught this one perfectly. Nice contrasting colors throughout, and good job not to blow out the white flowers. :toast:
