I would have tried to frame this a bit wider, the jaw is a bit close to the left edge for my tastes. Otherwise, a really cool picture! A little spot-editing on the eye to make the black a bit more even might look nice too.

Not sure what the black squiggles in the shot are, but they do not work well.

Good capture; I like the opposing diagonals here! The area of the branch in the foreground is a bit overwhelming. You might consider a crop on the left, perhaps making the picture square which might work nicely with the diagonals. Even if the bug ends up being centered, the diagonals will make it worth breaking the rule of thirds.

There may be a bit of noise here, but I think the overall presentation of the subject makes up for that. Nice macro work and tones throughout. 8 -danny

Nicely done great colors & composistion... a sharper focus and more detail on the lady bug would have helped.

the sharpness and lighting on the ladybird is all that spoils this shot.
