A ladybird and an arty-farty ant

[FishyFish]

I overdid the manual flash on the ant, but I like how it came out in the end. It was stood on a white mint that someone had dropped on the garden.

All three shots taken with my D3200 & reversed 28mm lens.

Yes the ant has a highish key effect now. Nice accident. The last ladybird shot is slightly spoil for me by the distracting vegetation over its back.

Thanks Chris. It was difficult to get shots of the ladybird as it was amongst the grass. I tried to wrangle it into a better position by gently nudging it with a blade of grass, but it was having none of it.
