Ladybird on green plant

This is beautiful, Cleo and a worthy winner of the contest. Lovely digital art painting showing the pretty little Ladybird resting on the green leaves of a vegetable plant. Love the soft floaty nature of the surrounding leaves, showing off the Ladybird perfectly. Excellent use of colour, light and shade. Beautiful composition. Suzanne

Hey there Cleo!
This is really quite beautiful! The lady bug and the green vegetable leaves have been rendered really well, the little lady bug looks so alive and real! The colors and use of light and shadow are both awesome and add to the initial impact, which is great. I can see why this one won :) great job!

Hi Cleo, Love how you captured the highlights of the ladybug in this image. Looks like he's on lettuce. With the blurred background your eyes go straight to the ladybug. Nice Job! I can see why you won the contest! :o) Nancy

Cleo, another beautiful piece with some excellent colors and textures.

Love the offset of this little lady as she sits on the green leaves.

Well done.

I like the details on the ladybug surrounded by the green. It's incredible how you managed to create highlight of sun light on the green leaves.
Very nice work worthy of being re- introduced to those of us who have missed it.
Well done Cleo ;)

I love ladybugs or ladybirds and you have created this one with such realistic detail. I like the way you placed it on the green leave of the vegetable plant in such an angle that allows a good view of its structure from its head and face back. The green leaves are beautifully shown and I especially like the way you softened their appearance in order to allow the ladybug to stand out. Very well created with beautiful realistic colors and tones and a good show of the lighting. Well presented!

Wonderful image Cleo. It is easy to see why this as a contest winner. The smooth almost dreamlike appearance of this is wonderful.

The orange ladybug really stands out from the background especially the dynamic differences in color.

Very well done Cleo. Thank you for reviving ~ Steve
