Thank you for your comments and ratings. Regards, Fritz

I've tried shooting ladybirds quite often but never got a shot half as good as this. Lovely colours and composition is sound - I think it does look a little bit oversharpened though. The pic looks great so I'd just advice less drastic steps in photoshop - if it aint broke, dont fix it!

Wonderfull! It looks like the picture was snapped by her fellow ladybug. I like it.

Nice...

very nice picture, jitka

Fritz, I'm repeating Martin a bit, but this afternoon I tried photographing lady bugs and I completely failed.

 

You did very well to control the specular highlight on the bug's shell. This makes me wonder how you lit this shot. My first thought was that you shot the bug under high overcast. Then I thought light tent and/or softbox. So, what light did you use?

Excellent shot! Welcome to the ladybird photography club! Congratulations. Regards Carl

Beautiful details, very good use of light and DOF

Excellent image. Beautiful composition, contrast color and subject. Regards.

Brilliant peice of work !!!
