I happened upon various ladybugs and other insects feasting upon hundres of aphids I found in my garden today. I cropped and rotatded this photo from the original shot, cloned out a few leaves that I feel distracted me from the ladybug. The ladybug has been dodged just a little to bring out the spots. Changing to black and white I felt added to the ferociousness of the photo.

This is a really nice image, although the unfocused leaf does take centre stage as with the 'rule of thirds' the leaf is set is a very prominent position.
The more time that is spend looking at the images the more attractive it becomes, unfortunatly in the world that is DPC the time that is required to appreciate this image will almost certainly not be given.
Cropping 25% off the top of the image would help to direct eyes to the detail in the lower part of the image and take attention away from the leaf.
The silhouette of the ladybug is good and I can see all the awful greenflies arghhh but the image could have been improved with different saturation to make the gray look a tad whiter for contrast...
