I found these cute little ladybirds while I was looking for something a few days ago. They have adhesive bottoms so they can be stuck on presents but I thought they might make a nice macro shot for today. I laid them out on my music room windowsill and used the liveview function on my camera to fine tune their layout in a game of ‘follow my leader’.

Funny and very nice composition! :) principe · 2009-09-17: 15:47
