    This is pretty cool, imagine how different the world looks to a Ladybug. Unfortunately your focus ended up on the brown stemmed plant to the left. I guess neither one really works for me because the subject focus was missed.

    I agree that the focus seems slightly off on the beetle. That said, I think it still has a lot of power in the shot just due to the shape and textures of the moss, even if the lady bug isn't quite as sharp as the stem to the left.

    And I'm probably going to have nightmares of giant ladybugs coming to eat me now. They're a bit more creepy on a macro scale!
