Ladybug Has Nowhere To Go.

This ladybug looks as though it has nowhere to go. A friend of mine has a lot of flowers in her backyard and she invited me over to photograph ladybugs on her flowers. She didn't have to ask me twice. Ladybugs are hard to photograph because they are tiny and they move fast. I used my macro lens on auto focus and handheld to photograph these cute little creatures. I also used a large aperture to create a shallow depth of field to blur the background.
