aMazing what twists and turns life has in store for us.

Yes, yet another conceptual insect photo that I have had in my head for more than a year. I did not have any brain coral until a friend loaned it to me. The ladybug is alive and was let go after the shoot (a bag of ladybugs was purchased from the nursery as a natural 'insecticide' for the garden)

Other Conceptual Insect photos for the curious:

Slaying The Dragon
On Wings of Myth
Destination Moon
Spring Forth From A Book
With Wings Do Dragons Fly
Aspire

I can definitely see this as a poster - very striking image, I've never seen brain coral before!

Great shot, though.

Fantastic! I wish the bug had been in a pathway, but it's still excellent!

It's a great pattern. It almost looks like a mostly desaturated photo.
I'm not sure it's a real ladybug. It has a ladybug's shapes, but there are only two very small dots.

Looks like she's about to escape the maze. Lovely work!

Fantastic detail in the coral. Like the way the Ladybird is walking along the high part of the coral as if it was a road.

Oooo a spotless ladybug, never seen them around here. Love how all the lines seem to lead my eye to the insect. Beautiful textures.

Great concept! Had a quick look at your other ones they are great! One little thing which I would prefer to see is the ladybird on the actual "path"
