I like the textures and colors that this composition presents to us. The yellow hues are bold and dominate the scene while there is the added element of color in that splash of red of the ladybug. In this small little ladybug's world it follows a yellow pathway - hmmm, makes me think of Dorothy as she followed the Yellow Brick Road:-)My only critique on this photo is that the top 20% of the image is nothing but negative space that does nothing for the overall composition. I think you could easily crop that out so that the attention stays tightly focused on the ladybug and the yellow plantlife.

I would prefer this cropped at the top as it doesn't add much. Without that, there's a nicer composition play between the yellow textures and the ladybird.

nice. pretty nice detail in some of the yellow stuff (barnacel?) I would have liked a deeper DOf but may have been hard to achieve.

I thought your title was misspelled. i thought it was microcosim. lol. im dumb. you learn something new everyday. glad i looked it up and didnt just tell you it was wrong. lol. sorry. well onto the photo. nice texture in that fungus. great color too. i like dof were it drops off into blurryiness at the top of the frame makes it look a little dangerous.

Very interesting color contrasts and textures. Maybe a crop from the edge of the wood up? Very nice as it is.

This is really nice. The lichen is so colourful and interesting in itself but the ladybug gives a nice touch.

I think anything other than just "straight on" point of view would have worked a little better. Shooting at an angle would have given the yellow some depth, shooting at an angle would have made the lady bug more interesting.
