It would make a nice picture if it was cropped. The ladybird is the subject and apart from the leaf it is on the rest doe’s nothing to enhance the photo IMHO that is!

Hi sarc thanks for your comment.
The image is already cropped a bit as I didn't want to show the expanse of OOF leaf to the right of image but wanted to keep the purple and blue sets of buds/flowers as I loved the colour they brought and thought they would make useful boundaries.

I could have gone in a bit closer to start with I suppose but didn't want to spook the ladybird...they can very quickly unfurl their wings and flee.

I'll post a cropped version for you (at 50%) tomorrow .

regards

Karlo
