This delicate tulip provided much needed fodder for this ladybird waking up much too early...as you can see the pollen gave the whole insect a light dusting..

Ladybirds are affectionately called Bishy Barney Bee here in Norfolk

Thank you so much to everybody who took the time out to vote and leave comments on this image.

The ladybird appeared to have just woken from hibernation and I put it inside the tulip in my conservatory - it gorged itself on pollen and also got it's shell well covered with the pollen - hence the insect looking a bit fluffy.

After a while he crept through the petals obviously to find another hidey hole to wait out the rest of the winter - luckily I was ready with my camera and succeeded in capturing him and my best ever score since becoming a member a month ago.

Thank you all again.

I really love this one. The only thing is that the lady bug looks a little...funny. It looks like it has a texture to it. Was this something to do with the bug itself or the editing on the pic? Either way, takes away from it a little, but not enough to not love the photo. 9.

This really does say 'delicate' to me. Nicely done!

Great high-key tones in this photograph. The little lady looks so fragile though and the curve of green stem is superbly delicious.

There are several photographs in this challenge worthy of a top place. And this is one of them, for sure. I would, without any hesitation, hang this up in my house.

Outstanding. Wonderful light and the pastel color really drew my eye to the delicate nature of this image. The little tiny insect just adds the delicate feel. Outstanding shot. 10

one of my favorites. more sharpness on the insect would've been great!

I'm not a fan of pastels or light colors but I will put my personal preferences aside as I vote. The lighting is great and well composed. So despite it not being a fan of the colors I give it a 9.
