Ladybug macro

[Richard]

Ugly background underexposed, minimal photoshop tweaks to levels and unsharp mask. EXIF data should be accessible for those interested in more details.

Looking for critique.

Thanks!

Nice color and composition. What lens did you use on your Canon to getthis shot? Is this a crop from a larger image overall? Thanks for sharing it with us.

Thanks clockdoc,

I used a canon macro - 100mm 2.8 stopped down to f8 for this, external flash set to high speed sync, 1/200 sec.

It's cropped down from the original (this is the jpg saved with the raw file):


Here's the output from canon DPP that went into photoshop elements:


The ps output is in my original post...
