This picture hangs mega large on my wall and I can honestly say it looks fantastic! Made with the macro lens and chosen for a soft, pastel background. The flower and ladybird splash off the photo.

But this photo was taken from above, so it looks like the dried-out flower is floating. The ladybird seen from the side gives a nice effect.
