Love the title Howard,
Good detail all round, The leaf has as much interest as the Ladybug. The BG really gives the subject a great sense of isolation and creates a thought provoking atmosphere. Well Done.

Howard:
Lady birds are so colorful and photogenic and this one is no different. No easy to capture as they are continuously on the move. Like the isolation of this bug on a single leave without and distracting bg.

Nicely composed portrait of one of my favorite insects. :smile: I like the simplicity of this shot with just the ladybug and the leaf. Good details on the bug and nice lighting.

Excellent detail on the LB, and I like the way the LB and leaf stand out from the bg, Howard.
