About I spotted these two frisky ladybugs on a leaf yesterday. This was a nice chance to try out my new 85mm Micro Nikkor tilt/shift lens. Needless to say I am very pleased with it!

Excellent photo Martin, your 85mm Micro could easily pay off itself with photos like this!
Beautiful moment and exceptionally sharp point of interest. Bravo.
My ladybug (http://www.usefilm.com/image/757645.html) is still single but looking :)))

Martin this cool? But please take a look here? http://www.usefilm.com/image/778665.html - I think Randy Lorence and you are kindred spirits, ladybug/nookie voyeurs extraordinary!!!. Quite amazing actually you both taking almost interchangeable shots of bug love ;)

A delightful image. Hard to tell the difference between the sexes (but then I expect ladybirds would have the same problem telling US apart).

Rajendra:

I spotted it by chance while out walking. I took 5 shots in the space of 10 minutes. I had to manual focus with this lens and the leaf was moving about in the wind. I had limited time as my wife was WAITING for me. She thinks it was worth the wait though!

Roberto Arcari Farinetti Roberto Arcari Farinetti   {K:209486} 4/29/2005
An excellent close-up. I like it I know much, it is personally a little diverted the background, so grey, I certainly prefer a more natural "greener" background.
Very well done, a nice moment of springtime and all the world must continue

cheers

Martin: I'm willing to pay 10000000 US$ just to set and wait to capture such a shot. This is one of the best shots till this moment. Honestly, it deserves PHOTO OF THE SECOND.

My warmest regards,

Khalid

This might need to be put in the adults only category. Just kidding, this is an excellent macro. I really love the contrast of the colors. Nice work
