ok, is this dead...cause someone else got into trouble using dead creatures...but I will say excellent detail...this is one way to get the buggers to "sit still"
OK, I'm going through the Free Study submissions, purposefully finding those images I think are shot with a less conventional eye - this is one of those images! Thanks for offering something that isn't just DPC friendly eye-candy (though of course there's nothing wrong with eye-candy). I'll be picking one of these images for the Mu (most underrated) award:
Positives: Interesting high macro offered with an almost clinical presentation. Quite different to most ladybug shots we see.
Critical stuff: I'm not a fan of the reflection / highlight - was your light source diffused at all?
Overall: An interesting shot albeit a little bit ugly!
I would guess this little fella has seen the end of days. The sharp hot-spot center head is distracting but otherwise it is a nice simple delicate macro.
The hot spot on the center of the head of a bit distracting. It also looks like you tried a centered composition but didn't quite get there. Nice detail and very good magnification, but the hot spot lets it down. 6
