Very good entry for the contest. Great capture of this little ladybird in the centre of the poppy. I like how you filled the frame with this showing the patterns made in the flower centre and the little bug contrasting well.

Lighting and focus very good showing excellent clarity. Good luck in the contest. Suzanne

Nice capture. The clarity is great. The capture of the light. The angle of the shot of the flower is great. The image is balanced and eye appealing to the viewer. Good eye and great job overall

A very nice macro of this flower and ladybird in good light and crisp clear detail. The colours are clear and sharp as well as the focus. A well taken and framed image.

Love that strange flower. What I like most, beside the tack sharp detail and brilliant colors, it the way this could be two (maybe more) pictures here. This is great. Let me suggest you try another one by focusing down on the ladybug. Looks like that could stand on its own. Super job.

Very nice photo. I like that you have captured the ladybug enjoying the flowers. Very nice focus and detail. I like the design in the center of this flower. I have never seen anything like it. Thanks for sharing and good luck in the contest.

What a macro ( super close up) shot. Elements are clear and sharp. Love it's bright colors and their contrast. Framing is good to directly point to the beauty of this composition. Well done and thanks for sharing.

This is a very dynamic work, not only in color but in texture and framing. The kindly little lady bug appears to be taking on some sort of dangerous, bug eating plant! And all along it is the gentle Poppy. All technical points are excellent and you have done a decent job controlling the saturation of the red petals. That's often a tough job for me. Nice lighting and presentation too. Good luck in the contest. NR
