Found this little lady on a walk near my house. Bumped the saturation and contrast a bit in RAW conversion, and cropped slightly, but no spot-editing.

Heill og sæll Magnús,
Mér líkar þessi mynd mjög. Myndbyggingin er mjög góð og litirnir frábærri. Bjallan vel staðsett í rammanum. Mjög lítið út á hana að setja ef ég á að segja alveg eins og er. Sem sagt myndina en ekki bjölluna :) Eina sem pirrar mig smá er þetta gras neðst í hægra horninu. Væri lítið mál að cropa það bara í burtu. Góð mynd í alla staði.

Hope you understand Icelandic :)

I like the simplicity of this. Nice clarity on the bug. Good job.

This is a very cool shot although I don't know how well it will be recieved for this particular challenge.

such a beautiful shot and composition...but for me it looks too familiar to be "fantasy"

Great photo, but it's nearer reality than fantasy for me so no bonus points

This shot would be ideal for a campaign we are doing for a company that uses a particular kind of ladybug and this looks like it. I would love to use this on their Web site, giving photo credit, of course. Let me know and no hard feelings, whatsoever, if you are not interested.

Humm, a different perspective would add a lot more to this image!
Maybe if you could only make the insect look bigger, related to some other object. Not sure how can it be done, maybe you could look at this tutorial: Neuferland's "It's my turn to torture you BIG sister!" for the PROPORTION challenge

I love the beetle, the colours, the negative space, but I don't see the connection to the challenge.

Great minimalism, dreamy feel which is obviously quite important in this challenge. Could this be a fantasy world? Yeah why not! Other wordly enough for me.

Fantastic colours, red and green complement one another brilliantly! An 8 from me.

nice shot but for most people it is not "out of this world" enough
