Another lucky shot.
=AglioPh0bia's camera.

I'd love any critique.

:icontalescaper:
A wonderful shot, using a good sense composition and focus, just as a shot like this requires. The focus isn't completely perfect on the bug (a little in front of it, it seems), but who can blame you with the depth of field that a macro requires, especially not with this camera. You did a rule of thirds here, which works well because the background is varied enough to spot the composition from being bland and obvious. One option to improve would be to make the bug more a part of his surroundings by showing more of the plant in the depth of field. This depth of field is the area in a photograph that looks sharp. In this case, your dof starts halfway on the beatle's shell and stops a few millimetres closer to the camera on the plant. If you were to take the plant from above, it and the bug would be in focus.

Torque. It's how I roll.

Not bad. The beetle is nicely contrasted with the background.

I agree with the critique:D.lovely ladybud, anyway:D
:icontyttataudnor:
This is really beautiful. Finally an art category I can fully comment - photography! What I love is the focus, really amazing. I also like mixing striking green with small but visible and striking as well red. Maybe you should have even cropped it to a square format and highlight the macro, but this version is amazing as well!

Thanks for the nice comments. I cropped it this way because it's he right ratio for my background (16:10).

I'm glad you like it.
