ROFL!!! Brilliant!

This is too funny. I think the composition would have been even stronger if the bug was in the upper right hand corner: it would have put emphasis on the bug running out of the frame. Should be easy to do outside of the rules, since your bug is isolated.
Good shot, and congrats on your top 20 scoring!

A very beautiful, effective and well composed image. A treat for the eyes.

It's striking how odd this ladybug looks when it's not red. Bonus points for using my color expectations to make the subject all the more salient.

This is fun shot. Is that really the right color? Good negative space, but the subject seems just ever-so-slightly (and I do mean just slightly) out of focus. The highlight on the back of the beetle is a little distracting. Good job! 8

Nice detail!

Nice picture, with what appears to be a Ladybird very crisp.As Ladybirds feed on aphids maybe a better caption would be "Bad for Aphids"

A bit less shine on the insect's back would would a little better.
Also interesting choice of color for the insect

Great capture and use of color to draw the eye!

Such a nice crisp shot of the bug. However the sharp glare on the back is taking a bit away from the image.

I thought the colour of the subject could not be changed.

I think some kind of light diffusion would help in removing/avoiding he reflection on the bugs back.
