Challenge: Centered Composition (Advanced Editing II)
Camera: Canon EOS-300D Rebel
Lens: Canon EF 85mm f/1.8 USM
Location: Dunham Massey, England
Date: May 11, 2004
Aperture: 5.6
ISO: 200
Shutter: 1/500
Date Uploaded: May 11, 2004

 Shot with a Canon 85mm with an (I *think*) 11mm extension tube, on loan from tomlewis1980.

No idea how this will score, but I'm pleased with how this came out. I'd not used this setup before, and hardly ever do macros.

Excellent DOF. Amazingly sharp details of most of the ladybug. The head area is a bit blurry but that's because of the very shallow DOF. Colors are also very nice. 8

Very good macro stuff. Is the sharpness perhaps a little too close to the front? Seems you've blurred the straw a from the left side and left a too sharp line a cm in front of little ol' bugger. Never mind that, I might be very wrong and it's nitpicking anyways - I like it a lot, hope it does well!

I really like the composition here, the centered ladybug works very well and there's some nice detail here. Too bad it's underexposed (by about 1.5 stops) Next time open up the shutter a bit more and let some more light shine through

Is it a dust reflection immediately behind the ladybug? The white circle seems to be growing out of its body.
