About Ladybirds are such grateful subjects to photograph. They are crawling al around and I was crawling right behind them. This little fellow felt down, just after I photographed him. I offered him my finger to step on and I put him back on the forget-me-nots; his favorite flowers at this time. Enjoy and please leave me your comments.

Wonderful macro, Diana-- great use of dof, nice composition. I just released a bunch in my garden to control the aphids on the rosebushs, and darn that I can't find a one... but the aphids are gone :)

What a fabulous macro; I like this alot, I've even added it in my favourites;

The composition is great, the reflection in the wing is fabulous and the set-up with the green and the little flower is made for this shot.

Also the frame adds a nice touch to it.

Ciprian
