Now that’s a close up! Awesome timing with this capture Ellen. Don’t worry about the foreground, I think the soft colouring alone really does compliment it – all focus is on the ladybird. The wings are amazing.

amazing detail, great capture!
Ellen replied
Thanks very much Mandi!
mandi andreasen
not allot of textures so it would be easy to change the forground on photoshop if you know how…
mandi andreasen
the forground color realy brings out the what ever bug that is?
pretty bug!
Ellen replied
It is a ladybug. I can change it, but i am not that good with photoshop!
Steven Agius

Squealia
wow brilliant!
Ellen replied
Thanks Celia!
Bob Wickham
that’s brilliant Ellen.
I wouldn’t be too worried about the foreground – nothing a bit of editing wouldn’t fix.
The focus on his wings is perfect and the dof is perfect too.
When they decide they want to fly it happens in an instant, so you did very well to capture this.
Ellen replied
Thank you very much for your comment Bob! You cannot plan this, so i leave the foreground as it is….
dhphotography
Great shot.
Ellen replied
Thank you!

Wonderful Shot!
Ellen replied

SusanAdey
Personally I think this is a very nice shot but if you are worried by the foreground some light cropping should do the trick. However based on all the comments I don’t think it is necessary. :)

wow… that’s just incredible!!! You must have been fast to capture that!!!!
Its a beautiful photo, even with the “aged” petal or leaf in the foreground… that’s Mother Nature reminding us that beauty is in everything, not just the pretty colourful living creatures. I actually think that if it wasn’t there, it would look too perfect!!!
