I never thought to crop! I do like these ideas, however. Thanks for the input!

Hello from the Critique club

An appealing image that meets the challenge

A lovely golden image that has a natural appeal, although it feels somewhat overexposed it suits the nature of the image well. The shallow DOF works well. The ladybird is the obvious focal point for the image and that is where I have a problem. I wish you had composed it more off-centre to the left, I also wish you had completely excluded the distracting sky, so I would suggest a crop just to the right of the furthest tendrils of the ladybird's stalk and just below the lowest point of the sky, I think this would make a big difference to your end result.

Well done, thank you for your entry.

Great picture, but a tighter crop (without the skyline) would have been great - just my opinion ;-)

Note vote from me as my membership is expired.

I really like the depth of field and the focus on the ladybug and the color scheme very much. The only nitpick I have about it is that I think the white area on the top should have been cropped out and it would be a pretty much perfect photograph in my opinion.
