Using my Sigma 105 macro - I love this lens. I wish I could crop a bit, and remove the dust bunnies and bump the bug's hue/sat. Minimal editing is tough, especially with such a tiny subject. This is actually a ladybug I saved from last year(yes, it's gone to the great beyond) which was good forward thinking on my part, since it snowed here last week and no bugs from this summers crop are out and about yet.
Used custom WB and bracketed to get the rigth white. Stuck with f11 to get some dof, but not too much. Rotate 90 degrees CW, sharpen and saved for web.

I like the tilted perspective on this one, but I think having more of the piano keys in focus would have made the image sharper. The amount of blur on the left (in particular) distracts me from the ladybug.
