Thanks for the votes and comments everybody! There were so many good photos in this challenge I was very surprised my "Bug on a Wheat Stalk" did as well. Thanks again :-)
Wow .. how did you get that little guy to cooperate? Wonder if the light from another angle would help highlight the rest of the lady bug. Seems like one end is awefully bright, would be nice to show off those lovely spots.
Creation Glory again! What a treasure! The varying hues of yellow caused by increasing density & decreasing translucency make for an interesting study! Great Photo! The ladybug adds a nice touch.
Very nice - good lighting, nice colors, fun subject. Strong diagonal composition is an ironic companion to the delicate ladybug - creates some nice tension. Light a little blown out on the bug, and focus seems a bit soft. Very enjoyable!
I love this shot. I just wish there was a little more backlight behind the bug (top right) to give a little highlight to seperate it from it's background. Well done with the concept, composition and rest of the lighting though!!
This is a lovely composition. I love the lighting, and the darkness of the background. Since you really seem to know what you're doing I don't feel super critical offering some extra comments :) -> the seeds and filaments are so compelling, beautifully lit and in focus that I'm slightly confused about what the subject is - the ladybug or the plant. The title suggests the former, but the reflection on the back-end of that shiny carapace is so bright, and the darker parts (head, top of carapace near head) disappear into the background - my eye just kept drifting back to the seeds, and for that reason the ladybug is not as compelling as the rest of the image. That may seem really nitpicky, but I wouldn't have given such specific, criticism if I didn't think the image was so strong to begin with.
