"New Directions" by Healzo really caught my eye - because of the beautiful colours in this deviation. They give the picture a peaceful atmosphere, as if time stood still for a while.
There are a few things that I don't like and that you could make better, in my opinion.
At first, it's nothing new, nothing special - there are lots of pictures with ladybugs on trees on deviantArt. You say that you were inspired by lieveheersbestje, and when I saw the thumbnail on the deviantArt page, I really thought that it was from her. To be inspired by someone is okay, but always remember to give the picture an own, personal touch - something that makes it different from all the other ladybug-pictures, in this case.
Furthermore, you should try to put the focus on the ladybug's head - for sure, their back is beautiful, but it irritates the eye a little bit (because one tends to look at the head of an animal rather than on his body).
What I like is the composition; especially the light from the left side looks wonderful and fits perfectly into the picture.
Well done. e.deviantart.net/emoticons/c/c… " width="20" height="20" alt="

Wow. All your ladybird shots are just stunning. In fact it looks like most of your gallery is pretty incredible. Beautiful sharp fresh colours and very precise focus, lovely.

All the beautiful creatures which display the manifestations of an eternal beauty and loveliness especially in the spring on the face of the earth, for instance the flowers, fruits, small birds and flies, and especially the gilded, sparkling flying insects - in their creation, forms, and members are such a miraculous skill and precision, such a wonderful art, mastery, and excellence, and all sorts of shapes and tiny machines which show their craftsman's wondrous proficiency, that they point decisively to a truly comprehensive knowledge, and -let there be no mistake in the expression- an extremely skilful, scientific innate knowledge, and testify that it is impossible that aimless chance and unconscious, confused causes could interfere. While the phrase "and careful decoration" means that those fine artefacts are adorned in a way so agreeable, are decorated in a way so sweet, display a beauty and art so attractive, that their maker could create these works only through an infinite knowledge. He knows the best manner of everything, and wishes to display to conscious beings the beauty of exquisite craftsmanship and the perfection of its beauty. For He creates and decorates the most insignificant flower and tiniest fly with the greatest care, skill, and art, giving them the greatest importance. This attentive adorning and beautifying self-evidently point to a boundless and all-encompassing knowledge, and testify to the number of those beauties to the necessary existence of an All-Knowing and Beauteous Maker .

It's lovely I really like how the focus is on the ladybug and the blue background being partially blurred.

These bugs make my skin crawl..
But I just had to chuckle at the title because that's the name of the club in the show Glee.
You're really good at macros, the color + focus is always great!
