Wonderful greens. Great use of DOF. The light area of grass to the left is a bit distracting to me though.

Rifa...good work with this well composed image. While I do enjoy close ups of insects it is always refreshing to see someone step back and really see the bigger picture; and you have done this quite successfully. The lone ladybug is seen as part of her environment and the smart, creative usage of negative space effectively brings that connection home. A simple yet visually strong photograph. I think the framing choice is somewhat off kilter as it does not seem to compliment the image. Fine work on the image itself.

  Lady on Grass****

She is probably shopping for Bug adventures of the Insect kind. This take has gorgeous colors blending well, foreground and background complement each other. I like the Bokeh you have created. Well balanced Depth of Field which allows us to see the Lady and the foliage up front in detail giving context and adding contrast creating a composition of sorts.

The only thing that appears breaking the overall balance is the Frame. Why? Because is wider at top/bottom and narrow at both sides, I would've preferred narrow all the way around. I know it may help the focus on the subject but eliminates and obscure the green foliage of which I would've loved to see more. Suggestion: Use a thin frame all around when shooting nature even though you don't need it. By the way this is not a Macro.

Very nice photo. I like the colors and bug on the grass against blurred background. That sharp vertical leaf looks like it is cutting the picture in half and is a bit distracting.
