This is a shot of the same ladybird from 4 days ago...I prefer the newer one - think he (or she ;)) looks cosy...but what do you think of this one?

BTW, I think he (or she ;)) is NOT just sleeping...no movement at all in 4 or 5 days doesn't bode well!

In terms of composition I prefer the last one - but thats just preference
Everything else is better in the first one .
The highlight on his back, although present in both, is more of a distraction in second one. Also, your DOF is too shallow in the second

Thanks. I wasn't happy with the DoF in the second one (which was shot before the first one I posted :confused:). that's why, when I noticed he was still there, I took another shot of it. And like you said, the new shot was better in all other respects.

Thanks for the critique.

Nice shots. Your border is a bit distracting IMHO. I like the composition on the first and second image, not so much for the third one. It seems to be too centered. Keep at it! :D

First two are pretty good but the 3rd is probably the best.

I think that's what makes the first composition better.
