edit: right way up now. thanks andrew.

Excellent, too!

I like the perspective of the ladybird.

The placement of the female St Andrew's cross spider doesn't work for me. I do love the background and detail on the spider. It also appears to be upside-down.

i swear it was the other way around when i last looked at it. I agree, this would look better rotated 180 degrees.

Great use of space on the ladybird and it just shows sometimes getting in tight does not always work better.

I do like the ladybird shot, the framing is fantastic and gives a great sense of scale.

It is now the right way up. I do prefer it with the head down as it is showing now, but still would prefer it if it was towards the centre more.

Wouldn't life be boring if we were all the same?

I think Chris's use of space in both of these shots is excellent.

yes, it was upside down. i swapped it after you pointed it out. ty im not much for pics in the centre andrew, i have no idea why. lol my main issue with the first is that its not quite perfectly in focus and sharp. im seriously rusty to miss what was really a pretty basic shot.

Sorry, I wasn't suggesting it should be in the centre... poor wording on my part... by "more to the centre" I really meant "not so close to the sides". I like off centre, but in the image it is so close to the edge that it looks like a mistake.

yes that could be right, a little more room may have worked better.

Nice shot on the lady beetle. Love the shallow dof.
