Hi Gummmm'

The pic is really nice!. Too bad you couldn't get a little more light on the lady bug LOL!.!.!.!.!.
Their is an option in photoshop to highlight just the bug so that is gets a llittle more relief from the rest of the image!.

Just an idea!. Other than that, nice job!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Awesome job!
Want to make it cooler!? Did you save the layers!? If so, erase the lady bug in the textures layer letting the ladybug in color from the base layer show through!

You could also add the color layer on top and erase all but the ladybug!. ;o)

If you want to lighten the ladybug, on that layer,
click
image>adjustments>curves>
input: 191 output: 205
(Adjust more if needed but be careful not to go too far!.)
