Greetings from the Critque Club!

Composition: The placement of the ladybug and the horizon of the egg in the upper third really helps to bring this together visually. As I stated during the competition, I'd like to see more of the egg - the title is really the only thing that tells me that it is an egg, I don't know if it'd get that without it and I like the idea of the similarly shaped subjects.

Background: Good neutral background keeps our eyes on the subject.

Camera Work: (Focus/DOF/) the focus is just a little soft on the bug, I'd like to see the legs and head very crisp on this. DOF is spot on.

Post Processing: n/a

Appropriateness for the challenge: very - gives a sense of scale to both objects. More egg would help me.

My Opinion: A very nice shot, pleasing and with a sense of whimsy. The colors are wonderful. I've seen a lot of ladybugs that are more orange lately in my yard and they wouldn't have worked nearly as well as this wonderfully rich colored one.

I hope these comments are of use to you, please note that if you can. Feel free to PM me or leave a note here if you have any other comments.

Super idea. The fuzziness of the egg horizon brings forth a comparison to the curvature of moons and planets.

I like this very much. I like the repetition of the curvature of the beetle and the eggshell. The photo could be a little sharper but I like the contrast of colors. I'm curious to know if a wider shot with more of the egg showing would be more successful compositionally.

Cool idea. Brighter colors on the ladybug would enhance it.
