Very nice. Most people would not even have noticed this tiny insect, but you have made her world-famous!

She reminds me of a red current berry fruit, with translucent-looking skin. I’ve never noticed that effect before, but perhaps she is different from the types we have here.
Thank you for sharing such a wonderful picture! And I agree with David Doe, above.

Precious. It is important to always remember the insects. Nicely done!

I love ladybugs. My Mom used to say that they were a sign of good luck.

The warm sunset glow, sweeping rise of converging grain and luminosity all make this centered subject work perfectly as the exception to the rule not to center subjects. It’s hard to break rules so well. Bravo!

I love the color contrast. Great shot. Reminds me of something I dare not say here.

Nice macro, though IMO there is a strong color cast which is killing the subtle greens of the wheat.
