[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This photo (original in workshop) was taken near Mirandela in a green field. The photo is very simple but i like it because the ladybug and the flower are very small and because that the photo had very difficult to take.

Lady beetles, also known as ladybird beetles or ladybugs, are beneficial insects which help control many pests.

EXCELLENT again Luis. PP is very good. But most of all, the composition is wonderful. I like the colors too.

encore une macro super geniale...en livitation..rire...merveilleuse couleur et la netteté extra...bravo...bi

luis this is absolutely beautiful.. very nice framing too... DOf is excellent as well as your focus. i can almost feel i could touch it...;-)) bravo!

Dear Luis, best about this photo is imho that there is no "stem?" viewable with the flower. Very nice effect like it is coming from nowhere. You achieved a better result with the post blurring, although the original was aleady good. Great photo. Yours, Jan

Parabéns Luis a foto está fantástica e n/tenho duvidas que não deve ter sido fácil a sua tomada.Boas cores e excelente enquadramento.

I more or less agree with the others. But, I'm not too keen on how blurry the background is. It's so blurred that the flower and ladybug has lost their setting. It makes the flower look like something that was "copy and paste." Also, was the blur tool used? (it looks like a Gaussian Blur). If you have time, try reworking it with "lens blur." Thanks.
