Now we're getting somewhere! Nice shot, good composition, DOF, and lighting. And the subjects were actually cooperative.

Pretty.. Love the lady bug..

Hello Hannah.
I very much like your image. You captured what I like to think of as The Essence of Life. Spring comes and everything comes back to life with a vengeance. Composition, lighting and content all come together into a fantastic shot. Thanks for the desktop image; I'm going to put it on one of my laptops. a 10 by me and thanks for sharing.

There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.

definitely into my favs! too bad one lady is too far off - would have been lovely if she was close to the focus realm...
and makes me think about moving to a place with better air - i haven't seen one this year, yet.
thanks for sharing this beautiful picture!

such a wonderful image with a beautiful subjects.. i just love ladybirds, i adored them as a child.. i loved to count their dots :D and bluebonnets are beautiful, you've made an image which combines their beauty with the beauty of these little animals.. i love the lightning and the amazing focus! ice background as well.. but i like the little ladybird the most :)
i agree with ela, too bad for the other ladybird not being visible.. but this image certainly deserves all the praise and highest marks :)

thank you for sharing this great work with us! have a nice day :)

I would strongly recommend strengthening the blue. If you could find someway to increase all the saturation without the green being overwhelming, that might be a good idea. I voted highly.
