 Yay; found a ladybug this morning :-) Crawling around on my yarrow, presumably looking for aphids to eat. Good for her!

36mm extension tube and handheld (yet again).

PP - rotated slightly, cropped, white balance, increased contrast, dodged eye a little (catchlight was there), resized, sharpened, added border.

You are making good use of that 50/36mm combo. I like the way you isolated the subject in the deep greens of the BG in this for color contrast with the subject.

Very pretty. Love the orange against the green, and the dof is lovely.

Sweet! Yep, I handhold all my macro shots, too, I don't have the patience/concentration to use even a monopod out in the field (it was so hot/humid this morning). Nice detail in this--you're lucky to have ladybugs. I hope you can get a shot that includes a ladybug & an aphid, that would be so cool.

Just magical .. the greens are filled with various shades that make her just pop ... I love lady bugs and they are so great for getting rid of aphids

Hanging on for dear life. LOL The pop of orange/red against that deep emerald green is so beautiful.
