 opened in ACR and tweaked HSL as well as curves and a touch of sharpening.

i dodged and burned to get the tree branch (yep that's what it is) nice and grunge-y. and i brought out the little guy's antennae with the burn, too.

my hat is off to Dr. Achoo. . .i couldn't keep up with this bugger once he warmed up from the fridge.

i had been searching for ladybugs all week to no avail. my yard doesn't hold much attraction for them. then today, as i was pulling into the garage, i noticed

this one on my windshield.

it was meant to be.

:o)

Love the textures and the contrast of the bright red against the muted off-white tones.

I love this photo. I know it's half impossible, but it'd be awesome to have the bug's body and head in focus. The bottom left could use some dodging too. Great composition and color.
