Absolutely LOVE the WHITE!!! Such incredible softness, and the lighting thru the flower is just Absolute Perfection!! Oh yeah....The ladybug focus and Clarity is Perfect also!
Truly a Perfect Photograph.
Conceptually, I love this photo. It's unique and beautiful. However, I think it could be made a bit better if the light wasn't so bright. As it is, its almost blinding to look at and some of the beautiful detail you've captured so well is lost in the brightness of it all.
We don’t make art to show someone what something looks like. All this requires is eyes (or a lens). Art is supposed to have meaning, emotion, power, or magic. Alan & Mario "FourThirds"
the lighting is perfect to me too, i dont find it blinding, i love the way the rose blends perfectly into the background and then ping, you have the wonderful focus on the ladybird.
The creative act lasts but a brief moment, a lightning instant of give-and-take, just long enough for you to level the camera and to trap the fleeting prey in your little box.
