I’m an amateur photographer living in Buenos Aires, Argentina. The joys for me (outside my librarian profession) is travelling and capturing moments of life. I like landscape, portraiture, nature. Also I prefer shots which contain people.

    Close to the goal with lady-bird Luck. For me it seems like a painting. Interesting colour combination.

  2. Anurag Anurag Says:

    A great study in diagonals and color. A bit loud on saturation and contrast. Overall a nice effect.

  3. Photos by Nik Says:

    Good shot congrats

  4. Su Su Says:

  5. Mara Says:

    Beautiful!
    At a first glimpse it looked like a landscape with fields.

  6. Malta Photography Malta Photography Says:

    Good composition indeed and the red ladybird makes a whole great effect.

  7. Pauline Jones Pauline Jones Says:

    ladybirds must be common the world over; I see plenty in my Irish garden.

  8. Patti-Ann Says:

    Not natural enough, but a beautiful subject.

  9. wanda krack wanda krack Says:

    Great color contrasts!

  10. Ellen Empson Ellen Empson Says:

    Agreed with Mara, like fields with the ladybug being the combine or tractor…composition is perfect. Good visual impact, gets and hold your attention.

  11. Jasja van Leeuwen Jasja van Leeuwen Says:

    Nice false perspective!

  12. planet lover Says:

    Very, very nice photo. I like the straight lines and shades of green of the palm leaf and, of course, the lady bug. I see lots of them in Maryland, both red and yellow.

  13. Renee Renee Says:

  17. mike mike Says:

    Very nice. We have those here in New York also in the summer.

  18. Marie Dunphy Harding Says:

    Looks like this Lady’s staying on the ’straight & narrow’!

  19. Laurie Laurie Says:

    I wonder what the ladybug did when she reached the cross leaf. Did she stay on the “straight & narrow” or get side-tracked?

    I think there’s a lesson for us humans: Do we allow obstacles to get us off-track or stay focused on the ultimate, eternal goal?

  20. Grete Says:

    Thank you very much for your commentaries. They encourage me to continue forward!!!
