an excellent close up Mary of this ladybug on a shiny green leaf; outstanding sharp details as usual;
I notice that this Aussie ladybug is orange in contrast to our who are red;

Great photograph of this lady bug. I like the colors of the background. The green of the leaf makes the colors of the lady bug stand out. Good focus and lighting. Sharp detail. Well done. Good luck in the photo contest.

Ladybugs are not easy to photograph because I have tried and failed. This is an excellent photo in perfect focus with vibrant colors and a dramatic leaf to boot.

I'm probably quite lucky in that certain of my dreams have never come true,Mary,so all the Lady Bird beetles like this one that I've seen over the years have helped me out considerably! : D
Your photograph of this cheerfully colorful specimen looks Great,my friend!

Your close-up is excellent focused and exposed, and has good depth. I am impressed by the sharpness of detail and textures and the realism of color and light. The shallow background is perfect. The little lady is excellently placed within the frame. The composition is balanced.
Thank you very much your kind wishes in your comments. Best luck to you and may your dreams come true also.

Great entry for the bug contest Mary. Your image is sharp and focused showing excellent details of the ladybug and the leaf. Great lighting which shows the contrast of the colours of the green leaf and orange/red of the lady bug. I like the minimalist look as well. All the best in the contest!
