 This could have been my macro challenge shot but I took it too early. This was the final resting place for this bug - until I bumped into the branch and it fell off (:-o

I used my new and inexpensive extension tube. :D

yaaay great finish for a free study. Beautiful colouring and vignetting that draws you right into the heart of the shot. Love the dof you used here

very cool shot. I love the color tones and the center framing of the subject with the two vines that lead to it.

Very nice

fabulous angle, very good colouring, love the smooth roundness of the ladybird and the twig thing. the background colour suits this shot to a T. I like the softness of the foreground twig thing and how it dissolves into a nice sharp to the point image, well done 9

Really terrific. I love the depth of field. The curl of the twig is really a nice added touch as it curves in and out of focus.
