Alone, happy, and free. Does life get any better that this?

i love this shot, my friend has a ladybug obsession and i'll definately be showing her this. kudos

I love it, too. I think the dof is perfect.

Nice going, CF. The focus and dof is right and the bg very soft and complimenting the delicate stems and ladybug.
Very good

Naz/Frog/Gary:

Thanks so very much for the great comments. I was in northern Minnesota earlier in the week, took a walk along the edge of a lake when I found this shot. Thanks again. I appreciate it.

Congratulation!. I like the colour combination of red and green a lot. The composition is very pleasing. I just wonder what it would be if the left twigs were removed and the negative space was remained. Thanks for sharing.

Congratulations on the sticky CF! This image has it all going on. Not only is the composition striking but it's blessed with beautiful light! Great shootin'!

Thank you all very much for the kind words. What a surprise to wake up this morning, check the website and find a sticky. Wooo-hooo!

Thanks again. I appreciate it very much.

CF - Really like the DOF background colors here. The white and green foreground against that gray-blue is soothing. I like the bug here, but wonder if it would have had more impact if it were larger in the pic? Hard to say, cause the composition is so good as you framed it, I'd hate to see that disturbed. Nice catch.

GB,

Thanks so very much for the kind words. I wondered about the size of the bug in the image also. I only took a couple with that in mind and it seems to lose some much in what I was trying to depict: happy as can be, the lone soul on such a large universe, with no clue in the world what is going on around you. Schmaltzy, but that is what I had in mind.

Thanks again.

Looks like a studio shot, and I mean that in a good way. The simple bg make the rest jump off the page. Well deserved Stiky, Congrats.

Thanks again.
