[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I've never really played around in photoshop before but thought I'd give it a try with this shot.I havent learned how to work with layers yet!
The ladybird was climbing a blade of grass on the lawn,I took a macro shot of it but there was a bit motion blur as it was moving quite quickly.I used the burn tool to darken some of the most blurry areas.
For the reflective effect I used the liquify filter and tried some of the lighting effects.
Still a way to go but at least I enjoyed doing it!
USM and a quick run through Neatimage.

Amazing shot Andy, I must say I like what you have done to overcome the compensate for the blurring, this is really a great macro with an interesting pose, your PP work is great.
Good work, and have a great weekend!

Very good experiment Andy, rusult is great, very well done, Regards, piotr

I really like this! That the bug is partially in and out of the water adds something, for some reason. Great!

Well,
you certainly managed to deceive ME! I really thought it was a ladybird coming out of water!
You cheeky...!!!
;-D

fooled me for a second or two!Maybe if the reflection lines were a little less jagged.Great idea to use this ladybird in this way.cool

Great shot Andy, and the title is totally appropriate! Congratulations on the initial photo and the PP work done to create the final image.
