Splendid shot!
You have the camera I would like…. :-D
-Bobbi
Beve Brown-Clark replied
Great choice in cameras…My next body will be the a900…not the new release of the a850…the a900 is still the far superior body…but for now the a700 rocks…started with the a100…..the cmos censor is far better than the ccd’s…less diigtal noise! Anyway thank you for your comment!!

Awesome macro shot of the Ladybugs!!! I didn’t get my new macro camera until after the bugs had gone into hibernation for the preparation of Winter. Photographs like this have me feeling quite anxious for the bugs to return this Spring!!!
