This must be a Ralph Nevins photo! Not quite as sharp as some of your others but it's still pretty cool.

Personally I think I would have voted a couple points higher without the ladybug. I don't know why but it really distracts me. I think I just love the beautiful patterns created by the black and white. I'm still not giving a horrible score though, because I do like the image overall.
