With the weather warming up as spring approaches these critters start showing up out of the woodwork or wherever it is they bunk down for the winter. This particular lady saw fit to flit around my desk lamp. A few shots were snapped before I reintroduced it to the great outdoors.
Enjoy and your comments welcomed.

Wendell, this is a good close up little bugger. I bet it was attracted to the heat of the lamp. Good color,and detail in this shot. =^..^=tigs

Nature in all her glory is my uplift on life and so is my love of photography. sandi ♪ ♫
First of all, I love the composition and perspective. Most people would have rotated the shot to get the bug "right side up" whatever that would have been. I mentioned your photographer's eye before, and you "done good" with it this time. Just think what you could be doing with two eyes.
A little short on the depth of field, but the majority of the little beetle is well focused although I wouldn't go so far as to say that it's sharply focused. Nice use of lighting, but I'm sorry to hear that you tossed her out into the cold where she was immediately eaten by a hungry bat.
10 on the composition and perspective. 6 on the focus. 8 on the colors. All and all, a 7.5-7.785.

I may be schizophrenic, but at least I have each other.
I remember when I was young and thought these little bugs were so wonderful. Now they are all over my house in droves! Sometimes I would swear I've even been bitten by a few! I like this shot Wendell, most of us wouldn't think of shooting a ladybug on our desk lamp. Great detail on the bug and I really like the bright light and the darkness in the background.

Spend a few minutes each day being grateful for what you have and who you have to share it with.
Excellent composition Wendell - I like this very much for its elegance and simplicity

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust
Great shot Wendell, and not an easy one to make with the light contrast I imagine. Well done sir!

What ever happened to the good ol' days?
I echo the comments of all above (except maybe Roger)and say very nicely captured.

The reason why the sun sets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB
Did good in the capture of this lady bug on your lamp. Good focus for the indoors Wendell. Don't much care for insects inside the house so I'm with you about kicking him out.

Life's moments are sweet. I just want to capture all that I can of them.
A different shot and I like it very much. I like the lines and the contrasting colors. Very nice work. Good luck in the Contest.

Not only is this a capture of one of Spring's harbingers, the lowly and familiar ladybug, but the placement of the bug on the curved edge of this object emphasizes the change from one season to the next. The curved halves, one dark and one light, of the Korean symbol of Yin & Yang symbolize man and woman. This object, with its curved black and white, symbolizes for me the abrupt transition from Winter to Spring. It's simplicity is it's perfection.
