AMAZING! I have tried to capture these guys a few times! VERY DIFFICULT indeed! Do you ALWAYS use a tripod with your macro? I have been lectured TO DEATH about using a tripod! I want to hand hold, LOL! Could be why most of my shots are a blurry mess!
LOVE this! |

| Can't believe I haven't commented on this yet. I stumbled upon it a while ago and loved it, and find myself revisiting it now. Kudos to the vigilance and determination with which you approached this project, that last frame is really amazing. I love how the focus remains on the grass and the ladybug has escaped the narrow focus into a blur. |

How did you get the dead ladybug to stay in the air with its wings out like that? ;-)

| You have at least graduated from murdering the creatures. For me it is the colour of the background that makes this image. The focus is superior on the "takes flight" right-hand image. Well done. |

Very cool! An excellent storyline - I love the third pane DOF. 8!
P.S. I think what would really make this one pop is some careful editing to make the upper half of the plant look sharper and remove a touch of the blue cast. |

| What a great sequence, and very well done - nice non-distracting background and subject is super-sharp (not counting the motion blur in the 3rd panel, which is understandable). I think the "story" is superior, but I guess others will also likely point out to you that the images don't "match" - seems like the plant is either a different plant each time or shot from a different position. This isn't so much of a detraction for me, the story is what sells me on it, but maybe next time with a "progress" triptych like this, be more mindful about how well the subject matches position-wise and lighting-wise. Boy, this is a long comment - sorry! 9 |
