Fantastic macro shot Clint! Hats off to you for that clarity, the PoV and the presentation.
TFS & Cheers

Hi Clint
Cette macro est de toute beauté, une présentation exceptionnelle. La lumière et la netteté sont parfaites.Le Beau Bg rend très bien les couleurs des deux coccinelles.

Félicitation pour cette compositions et les belles couleurs
Merci et au revoir...JP

Hi Clint,
Tis is a wonderful picture!! Ilike very much the minimalist composition, with the blurred Bg and leaf and by contrast the sharp insects.
A great job, 10 points!
greetings
Hernán

Excellent image Clint, the colour of the ladybirds is amazing. I never knew yellow ones existed. The quality of your image is superb.
Cheers,
Debbie

Hello Clint,
Excellent, very elegant composition. I like very much the curved grass blade, blurred background and very appropriate use of vignetting effect.
Best greetings,
Michal

Hello Clint,
great use of light in this picture. The shallow DOF is perfectly performed.
Did you use a mask to darken the picture to the edges?
regards, Jacob

This is a wonderful picture Clint; very aesthetic and eye catching! I am curious to know what your settings were and how you processed it. I also wonder why it says that it was taken in 2006 as it doesn’t fit with the note .:-) Well done and TFS,

Claudine
