Critique by *torivarn Sep 9, 2012, 2:11:47 PM

You posted this up for critique at the thread I posted in the forums.

This is already a very nice image, but I'll try my best to give you some tips on ways I'd personally do the editing.

I like that the background is blurred out apart from the straw the ladybug is climbing down. This is how macros are supposed to be in my book.

I would lower the highlights a little bit, this would cause the reflection the the ladybugs shell to be less dominant.

Also if you up the vibrance a little bit the red shell and the green straw would become more .. vibrant and cause a natural contrast. You don't need much if any at all, because that would come down to personaltaste. Some like images soft and natural. Others like them vibrant.

Really well captured and processed!
