I hadn't been out to my favorite shooting spot since before I left for the summer, back in May. I made it out the other morning, and it felt great to be back. It was the perfect morning, foggy and cold, with a soft sunrise. Somewhere toward the end of my time there, I saw this ladybug on a milkweed, and shot a single frame, with a touch of fill-flash from my hotshoe mounted 430EX, with Sto-Fen diffusor. I love the darker Earth tones; to me it feels like Autumn. This is almost straight from camera, with only a minor exposure bumb in RAW processing, and a touch of curves in PSCS3. It's going to be an early winter this year, you can see it if you know how to read the little signs. |

| YES! finally a ladybug that is the right color....I don't think I have ever seen a lady bug as red as they normally are presented. Beautiful color scheme, this could be a tad sharper in my opinion but I love the dynamic between the hole in the leaf and the ladybug all hidden in its shell |

| I think more postprocessing would have helped this picture a lot. Composition is good |

| For me, the lower right area of your image is so dark it takes away from the leaf and ladybug - the most interesting part of your photo. |

| Subjectively, a tad uninteresting, but a quality image technically......good detail & bokeh. |

| Looks like signs of a hungry insect more than anything. Lots of wasted space. |
