ok, is this dead...cause someone else got into trouble using dead creatures...but I will say excellent detail...this is one way to get the buggers to "sit still"

Good except for the blown highlights.

OK, I'm going through the Free Study submissions, purposefully finding those images I think are shot with a less conventional eye - this is one of those images! Thanks for offering something that isn't just DPC friendly eye-candy (though of course there's nothing wrong with eye-candy). I'll be picking one of these images for the Mu (most underrated) award:

Positives: Interesting high macro offered with an almost clinical presentation. Quite different to most ladybug shots we see.

Critical stuff: I'm not a fan of the reflection / highlight - was your light source diffused at all?

Overall: An interesting shot albeit a little bit ugly!

Great macro, and I like the shadow from light directly above.

I would guess this little fella has seen the end of days. The sharp hot-spot center head is distracting but otherwise it is a nice simple delicate macro.

The hot spot on the center of the head of a bit distracting. It also looks like you tried a centered composition but didn't quite get there. Nice detail and very good magnification, but the hot spot lets it down. 6
