Ladybird + repost

Gallery: Macro & Close-upPosted July 5, 20071,350 views9 comments
Hi Everyone,

I decided to post an image on here for a change as I normally frequent the UKNP forum. This is a Ladybird taken near London at dawn.

Techs:
Nikon D2X, Sigma 150mm macro, manfrotto 055proB, ball head, mirror lock, remote, 1/8th sec at F13.

Comments and critique welcome.

Regards Chris.

Chris,,,,,,I hope you stop by more often with fine images like this. Excellent composition and the detail in the drop sets this apart.

The clarity of all the little details is just great. I might crop a little more off the left, but this is terrific as is.

Really nice compostition with awesome detail. The dew really puts it over the top. The post is a bit large as I can't quite see the whole image on my monitor. Check the posting guideline limit of 720 pixels.

Great comp and detail, Chris. I second David's and Steve's comments that the detail in the water drop really makes this special.
