Lady Bug

First, Daniel, let me welcome you to NPN and the macro/close up gallery. Excellent first post. I like the comp and the precise and narrow focus and the lady bug which shows up really well against the soft green background. Looks good to me.

I will echo Scott. I look forward to your future offerings and comments/critiques!

Like this enormously, Daniel ! Beautifully lit and composed with the perfect dof for my tastes. Hope to see more from you !!

Daniel, I forgot to give you a couple posting tips when I commented previously. Regarding posting size, you can post up to 300 kb and 720 pixels in length, and at the same time, post a larger size image of up to 500 kb and 1200 pixels in length. Just be sure you upload the correct file(s) in the correct place when you post. It is easier to just upload a larger image. The site will then automatically make and post the smaller size as well. This allows you to prepare and post just one image (a larger size file). I typically post larger files 950 to 1000 pixels in length at around 495 kb, and let the site make and post the smaller version that is seen when someone clicks on the image. Hope this helps; let me know (either here or by email) if you have any questions.
