Ohh...poor creature, she needs a bit of green!
Nice works on the desat! Perfect composition! Very nice! :)

I know a lot of people don't like selective desats but this is spot on. Rule of thirds framing is excellent and just draws you in to the little bug. Fantastic stuff!

Oh that is cute...a little ladybird in a big wide scary world.

Has all the the wrong ingredients for a good picture ... a messy nusy background, harsh lighting, big empty areas on the canvas. But it seems to work.

I agree with Jutilda below. I don't like single saturation, but in this picture it worked out great. Very powerful, and I could see it easily on a wall :)

Excellent. Not always a fan of single sat, but this is killer.

Way to make the most of what's available in the shot. The selective desat is great - definitely the way to go, as the background would just be too busy and distracting otherwise. Well seen and presented.

Desat is well done, composition is good, but background for me is quite busy, though it could be argued that it completely supports the image. I personally am not fond of titled frames on digitals - they only look good to me on prints.

Very cute. and the title really helps make it.

I really like this - it has a huge emotional impact. The only thing I might recommend is a tighter crop on the left and bottom - I am slightly overwhelmed by the background, and it would have the added benefit of removing the out of focus part on the top left. But yeah, I know the point is to emphasize the solitude, and what you have does a really great job with that!
