 Along the river there's a ton of ladybugs in clusters, the background is the metal wall of the shore, the waters low so I was able to get here.

Title isn't good but I was trying to show how they are getting ready for Spring so they could come alive. Most of them remained still with a few crawling around. Would have liked to have one about to take off but they were way too lazy and/or dead. Anyways I really like this one so I'll probably get it printed big for my mom :)

I can't think of any improvements - it was a bit title-dependent for the challenge but still scored well despite that, which means it is a very good solid photograph. Love the shallow depth of field and the red and the blue really spark off each other well. I think this will look quite lovely printed large!

Very minimalist and strong photo. One of my favorite photos of the bunch. The combination of the bright blue background and the red lady bugs makes this photo outstanding. Should ribbon IMO. 10

I love this shot. Great colors and clarity. Terrific depth control. Just a tad overblown on the right, but that's just nitpicking. And it doesn't really say "waiting" to me, but I love the shot.
