Description

I took this picture on an excursion searching for Seasonal Autumn colors. When I looked at it closely, I realize that I got more than I bargained for. There is an aphid "hiding" behind one stem. Ladybugs eat aphids of course, so there is a drama to this picture that was not obvious when I took it. Other than cropped down to size, there is absolutely no postwork done on this shot. Li Luyi

A wonderful capture of nature taking care of things man regard as "pests". Good reportage.

This is a great use of your macro oginalii. Love that contrast between the lady bird [as we call it] and the plant. Love that soft background focus too. Well Done! :o)

oh my goodness. this is just a superb picture. the only tiny thing i would say is to shift the ladybug over a bit so it's not in the middle, maybe make it more dramatic. and i saw the aphid! congratulations on such a great picture. thanks for sharing! thothy
