Hi Folks,

Took this photo in one of the beautiful garden in England, Barnsdale Garden. It was built by Britain's best loved Television gardener Geoff Hamilton over several years for BBC TV Gardeners' World programme & various other BBC specials.

This garden have so much to offer, lots to see and all different varity, I love the gardens in England, they are so beautiful... and here when I try to capture the flowers and this little friend come and pay a visit, this is the first time I captured ladybird... haven't really see one before, I mean a real one... maybe I just never pay attention before... but here it is, a beautiful one. :D

Very nice capture Sweety! Beautiful mix of colours, the red vs. the yellow vs. the green. Good bokeh, and even though the ladybug is very central to the frame, I think it works well here.

How lucky for you to have this ladybird come to visit you, Sweety. And what a different plant this is too. Very unusual and the red friend stands out so strongly too,

Nice capture,good colors.

Hi Sweety,
Exceptional macro with razor sharp details!
The brilliant yellow makes the ideal landing pad for the welcomed lady bug.
The muted green background provides effective contrast to the lovey yellow.

with a kit lens you have a great result here Sweety. Of course the dof is shallow but the ladybird is in focus :D

HI Sweety
From muffins to bugs.:-))
HE certainly stands out against that bright yellow.
Nicely composed with focus on the beetle giving good results against the dark background.
Good shot

A lovely capture.
Good DOF, nice and bright yellow colours, and that tiny friend of yours, of good colour and sharpness as well as detail.
