I always find it difficult to resist photographing ladybirds, particularly when they're on a nice yellow flower. Perhaps a bit mundane, and possibly also large in the frame for some, but I liked the simplicity of this one.
Canon 5D with MPE-65 macro lens and 2 diffused flashguns on side brackets, f13, 1/160.
It's difficult to do common subject and make it stand out but I think you have done it, and very well. This works for me Matt, very different and the DOF is great. Overall mighty pretty!
It's not too big for me Matt.
I like your composition here, forming a diagonal across the photo, it works well IMO.
One I'd be proud to have in my portfolio.
Well done.
Geoff.

Like the inclusion of the stamens.
