Hmmmm.... I disapointeed with your ranking here.... I gave this a 9!!! It just sceams simplicity with an "ahhhhhhh" feeling to it. And the shalow DOF works well to keep the focus on the little lady. :-) Great shot!! Keep it up!
I see, I think, that you maybe ha dto shoot this under low light and that perhaps chose a higher aperture? Well maybe not, but the DOF is just to much in focus and really distracts from the subject.
The DOF is well-calculated but the subject is a bit too small. A simple life? Maybe not really but yes, this is a simple shot: easy to watch and appreciate.
Very cool shot! I wish that the shot was just a little tighter on the ladu bug, but that;s just me. I say only bc if anyone looked real quick, you could miss the little critter. Nice work!
Ladybug, ladybug, fly away home - but not 'til I get this picture! I think you did a great job with getting this shot. I could wish the white line (spider web?) on the stalk above him gone, but nature isn't perfect.
